My friend Krista, who has four kids, posted this recipe for ice cream the other day. Tonight we tried it!! So much fun. Tasted great.
Ingredients:
2 T sugar
1 cup half-and-half (we used whipping cream, I know...it was all we had on hand.)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
6 T rock salt
1 pint-size plastic zip lock bag
1 gallon-size plastic zip lock bag
(our zip lock broke so I would recommend double bagging)
crushed ice
What To Do:
Combine sugar, half-and-half, and vanilla in the small bag; seal the bag. Fill the large bag half full with ice and add the rock salt. Put the small bag inside the large bag and seal. Shake the bag for 5-7 minutes or until the ice cream hardens. Enjoy!
Note: You can add 2 T chocolate syrup to the small bag of ingredients before shaking to make chocolate ice cream. I am sure other flavors would work just fine too. You can, of course, add toppings at the end. I recommend rinsing off the outside of the small bag before you scoop/squish the ice cream into a bowl so you don't get the salt into your ice creams.
Serving size- two small portions, the perfect amount really.

Glad you liked the ice cream. I think it is a fun one and doesn't take long or too much effort. The kids love shaking it around, so really no effort on my part! :) As far as the bag breaking . . . I think that must be total operator error (or strenghth!) because my kids have never had that problem.
