Ziploc Ice Cream


One of my students gave a speech on this in class. We tried it at home, and it works! This would be a great project for a Sunday School class or on a camping trip (I understand this is a favorite of Scouts).


Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. sugar (to taste)
1/2 of milk or half and half
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
6 Tbsp rock salt (sea salt will also work)
1 quart size and 1 gallon size Ziploc bag
Ice

Directions:
Fill the gallon size bag up halfway with ice. Add the rock salt to the ice and seal the gallon-sized bag.
Combine the milk, sugar and vanilla in to the quart-sized bag and seal it.
Place the quart-sized bag into the gallon-sized bag and reseal.
Shake mixture until it becomes ice cream. It generally takes about 5 minutes.
Open carefully and enjoy.

You can also add other ingredients once the ice cream is finished, such as chocolate chips, cookies (I hear Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies are good in it), sprinkles, etc.

It looks to me like you could double the recipe and it would still work. If you try it doubled, let us know how it turns out!
