Snow ice cream is one of our favorite winter treats to make on our freezing cold snow days!

It is so easy to make with just 5 ingredients including fresh clean snow.

Today we switched up our traditional vanilla and chocolate flavors and made Blackberry Snow Ice Cream topped with fresh berries and sauce.

Blackberry Snow Ice Cream

Makes a BIG mixing bowl full of ice cream!

Ingredients

• 8-10 cups fresh soft snow
• 1 can {7oz} sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup blackberry sauce or syrup plus more for drizzling
• 1/2 cup blackberries for topping

Instructions

• Start with a large chilled bowl.
• Stir together condensed milk, vanilla, and blackberry sauce.
• Add scoops of snow, stirring until combined.
• Continue adding as much snow as you need until you get the ice cream-like texture you want {leave some chunks or it will be slushie}.
• Drizzle with additional blackberry syrup and top with fresh blackberries.
• Serve right away.

Notes

*Don't place in the freezer or it will turn into a block of ice!

Four basic ingredients + a big bowl of fresh snow are all you need for this fun dessert!

Start with a large chilled bowl and stir together condensed milk, vanilla, and blackberry sauce.

This is a great recipe to have your kids help make.

You will need a big mixing bowl full of fresh clean show.

We set a bowl out on our patio table when we know we are going tog et a lot of snow.   

Add scoops of snow to the bowl of milk and sauce, stirring until combined.

Continue adding as much snow as you need until you get the ice cream-like texture you want. 

Leave some chunks or it will be slushie. 

Drizzle with additional blackberry syrup and top with fresh blackberries.

Serve right away. 

Enjoy your frosty treat and winter snow day!

Looking for a fun snow day activity?

These easy to make beaded snowflakes are a pretty winter themed kids craft to make at home!

What you need:

Makes 2 snowflakes

• 6 pipe cleaners, we used winter colors like white, silver, light blue
• 1 small container of colored plastic beads, round and shapes

Directions:

1. Start by shaping your snowflake. Criss cross the 3 pipe cleaners. I form an “X” then add 1 pipe cleaned straight in the center.

2. Twist the 3 pipe cleaners together so you now have a 6 sided snowflake. 

4. Now, string beads through one snowflake arm. My kids liked making patterns.

5. Fold down the tip of the pipe cleaner over the last bead to secure.

6. Now repeat and string beads on the rest of the snowflake arms.

7. You can add a string to a side to hang or display on a shelf like my kiddos!

Start by shaping your snowflake. Criss cross the 3 pipe cleaners. I form an “X” then add 1 pipe cleaned straight in the center.

Twist the 3 pipe cleaners together so you now have a 6 sided snowflake. 

Now, string beads through one snowflake arm. 

My kids liked making patterns and using different shapes of beads. 

Dad even joined in on the fun!

Fold down the tip of the pipe cleaner over the last bead to secure.

Now repeat and string beads on the rest of the snowflake arms.

My girls beautiful creations!

This a great craft for all ages. Toddlers enjoy it and so do big kids!

Best of all, they hold up well and look pretty when hung up and displayed.

BRRRRR! It’s freezing here in the Midwest and we are expecting another snow day next week. Snow days are my favorite since I grew up in Florida and never even saw snow until I was an adult. My kids, husband, dogs, and I love getting bundled up and sledding down the hill in our yard, making snowmen and snow angels, and, of course, having a snowball fight! After playing in the snow though we’re always tired and cold, so for lunch and dinner I have a few favorite comfort food recipes I cook up while we warm up by the fire and watch a movie. 

Today I’m sharing over 100 of my favorite comfort food recipes perfect for warming you up on cold and dreary snow days.

I’ve included all the soups and casseroles we love and also delicious drinks and decadent desserts you will enjoy on even the coldest of winter nights!

We’re snowed in!

We have had snow all week long here in beautiful Missouri. And after the first couple days of being stuck inside, I was already tired of cooking 3 meals a day for my family. That’s when I got creative and cleaned out the snack shelf to make this easy Snow Day Snack Board for lunch for my kids. 

This snack board filled with cheese, crackers, fruit, sliced meat, and even a few treats was easy to throw together and use up items I already had available.

It was such a hit with my kids that they request one every snow day now!

It’s not a snow day without hot chocolate right? A hot cup of cocoa goes great with the snack board!

This Florida girl loves Missouri winters!
