Not only can playing in freshly fallen snow be filled with joy & laughter but eating it can be just as fun. 

You will be surprised by how rich and creamy snow can taste with just some extra flavorings.

First, yes, you can make ice cream from freshly fallen snow. It is a lot easier than you might think.

You just need a few simple ingredients to make it, and I bet you already have everything you need already. Sometimes you have to wait for the most important ingredient – the snow. 

I should have added patience to the list of ingredients. You can also keep a keen eye on that weather app you have handy.

I think it goes without saying that you would not want to take snow that has been on the grown long enough for the wind, nature, or others to contaminate it with cooties.

Ingredients Needed for Strawberry Snow Ice Cream

• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
• 6 cups snow, plus more if needed

How to Make This Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

It is quite simple; you see. First, you will need to combine the milk, vanilla, sugar, and frozen strawberries in a food processor or high-powered blender.

My favorite blender is this Oster Blender. I use it a lot. It was well worth the purchase. 

Blending until smooth. Then, in a large bowl, pour the strawberry mixture in and gently fold in the snow until well incorporated.

Once the combined and desired consistency is met, add your favorite toppings or enjoy immediately. Your freshly made ice cream will keep in the freezer for a short period.

This recipe is fun for the whole family.

My kids love to help make our ice cream. It brings us together on the coldest of days. Now if you want to skip the strawberries, I have my original recipe for Homemade Snow Ice Cream!

Quick Tips

As the snow melts quickly, it will also melt the same even with the added in frozen strawberries.

The kids and yourself will have a limited time eating.

Often, I place them in small bowls to serve instead of cones because my kids can’t eat it fast enough before a mess is made. Less mess is best.

This Strawberry Snow ice cream can be placed in the freezer for a short time. The texture will not be the same as when you first made it. It will still have the same taste.

When we make this recipe we make just enough for all of us to eat. No need for leftovers.

And P.S. The next time your yard is covered in snow, get the spoons and bowls ready. It will be ready to make some Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream. 

And P.S.S This recipe has to be one of the most frugal recipes around. Seriously, “savings” should be in my real middle name. It doesn’t have to cost much to have a lot of fun, including whipping up a batch of ice cream.
