Ice Cream In a Bag Recipe

Milk can become homemade ice cream in five minutes by using a bag! This recipe and technique has been used several times at our pack meetings and is always a hit.

What you'll need:
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk or half & half
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 tablespoons rock salt
  • 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)
  • 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag
  • Ice cubes
    How to make it: 1. Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag. 2. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it. 3. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully. 4. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes. 5. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy! Tips: A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. You can put the bag in a shoe box for shaking to avoid getting your hands too cold.
