SHAKE IT! 10 min. Ice Cream in a Bag ...Art and more....

I POSTED ABOUT THIS BACK IN 2007 here on the MB and in my profile ... I got the idea from another poster who had mentioned it back then and my dear mom doing the same thing using two plastic bottles of different sizes and have us roll it towards each other in our patio back in Panama .. on a hot day ... TO DIE FOR...

This affords the flexibillity of an EXCELLENT outdoors or indoors activity for either and individual, family, children etc etc. 

I did this project at a block festival in our Outreach Community and people of ALL ages participated and LOVED IT ... the kids were Thrilled....

I TOTALLY TWEAKED IT TO MAKE IT WLS FRIENDLY BY ADDING A SCOOP OF PROTEIN AND USING SKIM MILK  AND OCCASSIONALLY USING FF HALF AND HALF BUT MORE THAN OFTEN I SKIP THIS....

CHECK IT OUT.... TRY IT ... If you don't have an ice cream maker or you want and outdoor activity at the beach or the park etc you can have this it makes 2-3 servings and its done in 10 -15 minutes.   EASY...

Have delicious homemade Ice Cream in less than 15 minutes..... There is nothing new under the sun.... it is all over the Internetz ... it is soooooooooooooo easy and such a fun activity for kids and the whole family enjoy...
My DD just asked me to make her some cherry flavored low cal ice cream ... I am not farting around with the Ice cream maker right now ... so here it is.... TRY IT... on a hot day you WILL LOVE IT...I did this with the kids at our Outreach Ctr. Summer Camp program also they loved it!...

What you need:

Materials

• 1/2 cup milk or half and half  (WLS friendly use Skim milk or FF half and half)
• 1/2 cup whipping cream (heavy cream) (WLS SKIP or USE FF COOL WHIP)
• 1/4 cup sugar (WLS REPLACE WITH SPLENDA OR STEVIA OR SWEETENER TO TASTE)
• For WLS version add 1 scoop of Whey Vanilla protein or whatever flavor you are working with...
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla flavoring (vanillin)
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup  table salt or rock salt (Table Salt is what I use)
• 2 cups ice
• 1-QUART Ziploc^TM bag
• 1-GALLON Ziploc^TM bag

Another version that is simpler....

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup milk (skim or FF for WLS friendly version)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar or splenda/stevia or sweetener of choice (or to taste)
• 6 tablespoons table salt....

Preparation: Put milk, vanilla and sugar (Splenda) and Whipping Cream into a pint or quart-sized freezer bag. Seal well.

Fill a large, gallon-sized freezer bag with ice. Add the salt. (Rock or table salt okay)

Put the smaller bag into the larger bag and seal.

Shake and mix until the ice cream thickens, about 10 minutes. You can also let the kids gently throw the bag back and forth to help mix the ice cream. The bag gets very cold, so you might want to use towels to hold it.  

Your kids or YOU or our family/friends will enjoy making, and eating, this ice cream made in a ziplock bag. Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes 

Another fun Internetz version:

What To Do

 

Step One:Fill one sandwich sized Ziplock bag with ½ cup of milk, ¼ cup of half and half, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Seal the bag securely, making sure to remove as much excess air as you can. Place that bag inside the second sandwich sized Ziplock bag and seal that bag as well.

Step Two:
Fill the gallon size Ziploc bag with 2 cups of ice and 6 tablespoon of salt. Place the smaller bag that has been filled with the milk mixture inside the larger bag and seal it firmly, getting as much air out of the bag as you can. 

Step Three:
Turn on some music and let your child shake themselves silly. Dance to the music and shake the bag of ice-cream mixture as hard as you can. Younger children may need some help if their arms get tired. Try switching off and taking turns. In 5-10 minutes you will have a delicious batch of homemade soft ice-cream. 

If you prefer harder ice-cream, place the bag of soft ice-cream in the freezer for 1-2 hours and then enjoy. 

Optional:
Add additional flavor to your Ziploc****cream by mixing in your favorite treats. Stir in some chocolate chips and chopped nuts for a crunchy treat. Add a few drops of peppermint oil and some chocolate chips for a mint flavored ice-cream. 

Be creative and experiment with different flavors. You may discover a new favorite ice-cream flavor. 

 

 

ADD CHERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, TORANI SYRUPS OR GET CREATIVE WITH WHATEVER FLAVOR YOU WANT ... JUST ADD ALL THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER EXCEPT FOR THE ICE AND THE SALT AND POUR INTO THE SMALLER ZIPLOC BAG OR FREEZER BAG AND MAKE SURE YOU SEAL TIGHTLY....

 

SERVE OR EAT OUT OT THE BAG...
