Snow Ice Cream
Deliciously snowy

With many parts of the country experiencing record-breaking snowfalls and with more bad weather on the horizon, this might be a good time to put some of the snow to good use.  How about making some snow ice cream?

Yes, that’s right ” snow ice cream.   Making America’s favorite dessert out of freshly fallen snow is a treat that many may remember from childhood.  (It ranks right up there with snow angels, building forts and having snowball fights.)   These ice cream recipes are easy to prepare and taste good, too.  (Even Paula Deen agrees.)

So if you have mounds of new snow outside your door, start gathering the troops and try one of these easy recipes.  (Making snow ice cream is also a great way to keep bored kids occupied!)
