Yummy in a Bag

I found a recipe lately for Homemade Ice Cream in a bag… we just HAD to try it out since we LOVE ice cream AND Grace has been learning about the Letter I this week.  It seemed like a perfect fit!  Here is the recipe:

2 T Sugar                    

1/2 t vanilla                                 

 I cup Half and Half

1/2 Cup Kosher or Rock Salt                                 

Ice Cubes

a Sandwich bag and a gallon bag

                                  

Put the Sugar, Half and Half and Vanilla in the sandwich bag and seal tightly (I put that bag inside another sandwich bag.)  Then fill the large baggie half way with ice cubes and then add the salt.  Put the small bag inside the large one and then shake for 5 minutes or until the mixture turns thicker – into soft-serve Ice Cream.

This is Grace shaking the bag – we tossed it from person to person and danced with it, too!  We should have turned on some music to make it even more fun!!!

                

The finished project….. it made about one cup of ice cream.  We will definitely try this again… making more next time now that we know it works!

                     

The happy customers….
