FAQ:
- Can I use store-bought ice instead of snow?
If you can’t get snow, ice works in a pinch, but it won’t be quite as fun as real snow! - How long can I store snow cream?
It’s best fresh, but you can keep it in the freezer for an hour or two if needed. It might become more like ice cream, but still delicious! - Can I make this without sugar?
