Prep your ingredients {you only need a few} and chill your bowl beforehand. Then all you need is fresh snow and you can make this easy winter dessert in minutes!
We got lucky and had not one but two full snow days last week. This was the most snow we have gotten since moving to Missouri in October and we loved it. Funny how everyone here is so “over” the snow and my girls and I are crossing our fingers for more! Their Dad was home and along with our sweet pup Dylan we made snow men, painted snow, and went sledding. It was a blast!
Our snowman, Mr Tie Dye, was our biggest -and most colorful- yet!
I found these snow paint kits last week at Goodwill for $1!
The girls loved them {although the red paint did end up looking like a crime scene on the snow}.
Dylan dog looking handsome in the snow. He is Florida born like me so he is not super excited about the cold wet stuff but he will sniff around and chase the girls on the sled for a bit.
Then he’s ready to lay by the fire inside!

Notes
We learned that the hard way.
What a super-fun, wintery treat! Can you believe it actually snowed in Phoenix this past weekend?!
I have heard so much about snow ice cream but have never made it! If we get any more snow this winter I'll have to make some for the kiddos, they'll love it!
Oh my gosh yum!!
I’ve never had snow ice cream! I live in the desert so snow is very rare. Next time I see snow, I’ll have to try this!
