Ingredients for Snow Cream đŚâď¸
Grab these simple staples (swaps in parentheses!):

How to Make Snow Cream đŚâď¸ (Step-by-Step!)
Step 1: Chase the Perfect Snow
- Wait for a fresh snowfall. Grab a bowl before the dog/kids/squirrels claim it.
- Collect snow from the middle of the yardânot near roads or bird feeders. Pro tip: Use a baking sheet to catch pristine powder!
My disaster story: I once used snow off the grill lid. It tasted like⌠regret.
Step 2: Mix Like a Snow Wizard
- In a big bowl, combine snow, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt.
- Fold gentlyâdonât stir like a maniac, or youâll get snow soup!
Hot tip: Pretend youâre folding clouds. Gentle hands = fluffy results.
Step 3: Serve Immediately (Or Else!)

My Top Tips for Perfect Snow Cream đŚâď¸
- Snow quality matters. If itâs crunchy, wait for softer flakes.
- Keep ingredients cold. Store condensed milk in the fridge first.
- Add mix-ins slowly. Too many toppings = snow avalanche in the bowl.
- No sweetened condensed milk? Use 1 cup milk + ½ cup sugar + 1 tsp cornstarch (simmer until thick!).
- Double the batch. Trust me, youâll want seconds.
