RECIPE: SNOW ICE CREAM

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

Here’s another reason to wish for a white Christmas. It’s snow ice cream (just add sugar, vanilla and cream). We should preface this recipe by saying that we’ve never actually tried it, so if anyone has done this or does it in the near future, please let us know how it snowman.jpggoes!

SNOW ICE CREAM

1 gallon snow (or just a big bowl full)
1 cup white sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 cup cream or milk

DIRECTIONS: Get a large bowl of fresh clean snow (feel free to put a few bowls out on the lawn to catch it while it’s coming down). Stir in sugar and vanilla to taste. While stirring, add just enough cream until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve immediately.

TODAY’S PRIZE: To help you scoop effortlessly for future recipes, we’re giving away the KitchenAid ice cream spade. This thing is heavy duty and built for digging through hard ice cream (and getting all the good stuff in the corners at the bottom).

I loved this as a kid and want to try it again but I’m sure its not as good as Turkey Hill is.

Our sheltie, Ryley knows when the ice cream comes out of the freezer. He always gets a small scoop and loves it. Youngest son has a terrible habit of eating straight from the carton. We go through several 1/2 gallons a week. Please, please consider selling in gallon size! We sure love our Turkey Hill.

Why make “snow ice cream” when you can have Turkey Hill ice cream?

Just wanted you to know, too, that our black laborador, Daisy, pouts when she doesn’t get her dish of ice cream every night before bedtime. It’s a ritual with my husband and I to have a little ice cream while watching television - and of course, the dog needs her dish also. We’re not sure who likes the treat best - the dog or us!

We’ll have to wait until January for more snow, but I like it best plain. Look up while it’s snowing and open your mouth.

I’ve heard of this but never tried it. LOVE Turkey Hill………
Thank you for the calendar.


Tracy Hartlage wrote:

I don’t think that can possibly compare to my favorite flavor of turkey hill. Besides, my dogs would surely add a little something to the bowl if I left it in the yard. YIKES!

I really love the look of that ice cream spade. My daughter makes such a mess of the kitchen table, counter, floor, etc. every time she tries to do the scooping herself…

How adorable! I can’t wait to make those with my family next year! I’m looking forward to accessorizing them. What a darling idea.

How about a chocolate, butter pecan, moose track. That would combine my favorites. Thanks for the consideration. Merry Christmas.

You yellow snow eaters are scaring me. Does it still snow in NJ? Just kidding. I think I still have snowballs preserved in my freezer from last winter. You guessed it, that crazy mom of 6. I’m game for trying that recipe. Anyones kids bouncing off the walls yet? Merry Christmas my little ice cream loggers.

Wow,brings back memories, we used to do this as kids but we did not make great looking snow people like the ones pictured. We just ate a pile of it.


Sheila wrote:

I would also be a bit hesitant to try it. I don’t think 21st century pollution has contributed anything positive to fresh snow. It’s too bad though, sounds fun!

Keep the snow outside, and the Turkey Hill inside. yum

Peg Cramer wrote:

I had it once or twice as a kid in the 1950s. Actually, the idea sounds better than the finished product. We did not mix ingredients in a bowl, but made a hard snowball and poured maple syrup or pancake syrup over it.

We all want snow for christmas but I would rather have the ice cream scoop full of turkey hill ice cream. But the picture is a fun idea to make snow men out of ice cream with the kids. You guys are great. enjoy the holidays!!

Wow, another neat recipe. A word of advice stay away from the yellow snow, lol lol.

Love the blog Turkey Hill!

Snow ice cream sounds like a fun project. However Turkey Hill, please don’t stop doing what you are doing. I am sure your products won’t make me turn green or glow in the dark. Have a blessed Christmas!!

I’ll stick to my my favorite - chocolate

I would much prefer Turkey Hill to anything made with snow-but maybe in an emergency?


Lora wrote:

This would be a fun project to do with kids! If you don’t have any snow yet, you could use scoops of ice cream and the kids could decorate the snowmen/snowladies with various toppings. Using your imagine would create cool creations! They could be saved in the freezer or BEST YET eaten after the judging contest!!

Sounds interesting, but I think I’d like regular ice cream better!

Grew up with this. However, it seems that we had more snows back then than we do now. Some years it doesn’t snow at all.

This sounds very interesting, will have to check it out.

I made it but never had a chance to try it. The snowman we made kept eating it. Never make a snowman and ice cream at the same time.

Very creative recipe, but WOW I would LOVE a KitchenAid IceCream Spade!!!!! That would be so great!!

I’ll be sure to share this recipe with my 5 year old niece, she’d love it!!

Living in NYC, I suppose it would have to be “slush” ice cream. Looks interesting.

We made this one time whenI was at college out west. It was a lot of fun and it tasted pretty good. More like an ice milk than ice cream. But….I don’t think I would try it now with the air quality in my area.

Guess the key is hitting it before the salt trucks, migrating geese, and my thundering herd of dogs all decorate the snow.

Can you use yellow snow?


Beatrice Poultney wrote:

I never heard of this before. Mmmmm. I think I would agree with those comments about acid rain/acid snow. I’ll stick to Turkey Hill Farms ice cream and be very, very happy.

Never tried it, probably never will. It snows down south ?

No snow? No Problem. I like shaved Ice Better. I can have it all year round. In different flavors too.

My mom did this as a kid, I did it as a kid, and now MY kids do it, as well! We use chocolate syrup and evaporated milk, because that’s how my mom made it, but on a few occasions (when the kids weren’t around!) I’ve made it with Godiva’s Chocolate Liqueur… MmmmMmmm!

Waiting for the big snow.
But I rather eat Turkey Hill Ice Cream now.

Maybe 30 years ago I’d eat snow. The “chrome-looking” trim on my car developed a a film & Audi says it’s b/c of acid rain…acid rain = acid snow?? Our environment is too messed up. I guess I’d try it, but not make it a regular habit. Maybe TH could come up with a flavor called Snow…it would be milky white and taste like winter…what does winter taste like? Mint? Coconut? Sugar Cookie? hmmmmm….

We used to make snow ice cream when I was a kid, many years ago. I haven’t even thought of it in years. Guess I was more willing to try it back then. Now days, with all the air polutants, I don’t think I’d eat snow ice cream.
I will keep eating my Turkey Hill ice cream!!!!

Snow cream sounds like a good takeoff for a new Turkey Hill Ice Cream flavor..I would be willing to try that one…thanks.

This recipe sounds good, but I’ve never tried it. My mom may have tried to make something with new snow when I was young. Today’s prize is terrific!

oh I dunno….not sure I want to eat anything that drops from the sky where I live…perhaps if you live far out in the country.


Susan Curran wrote:

I agree with those who would rather have Turkey Hill than snow ice cream-Long Island snow always looks so dirty-wonder what flavor it looks like?

Somehow, I think I’ll let you guys at Turkey Hill make my ice cream for me…

I like Cookies-n-Cream too!! I guessed that that would be the most popular new flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

no thanks, i like my ice cream out of the box


Caroline wrote:

Won’t do. We have geese and our snow is probably “Acid snow” since we live east of the coal electric power plants with little polution controls. Anyway its not TH Ice cream but sugared watered milk or cream.


Barry Kauffman wrote:

This brings back many memories of when our children were small and we would make snow ice cream. That was a fun time, filled with great memories, but now I’d prefer my dish of Turkey Hill chocolate marshmellow with my feet propped up in front of a warm fire. That’s living.

I’ve heard of this before, but never tried it. Maybe the next time we’re snowed it I’ll give it a whirl.

I’ve never heard of this before, seems as though the snow would just melt once you added all of the things to it!

My daughter (2 1/2) just discovered catching snow on her tongue and she liked that so I think she would really like this! :)

This sounds delicious!! I am going to try it soon! I used to love eating flavored snow as a kid. yummy memories!


Janice wrote:

I’ll stick to Turkey Hill, thanks. I do like the ice cream spade especially since most of my tablespoons are bent. I never seem to get aroundtoit for a new scoop or spade.


Deb wrote:

Loved making snow ice cream as a kid. Now I make it with my granddaughter, who absolutely loves ice cream. Only she calls ice cream “hah key”. So come on everyone, lets make some snow ice cream (weather permitting), or go to your freezer for some “Turkey Hill”. Either way, enjoy!!!!

Boo hoo - we never have snow!

My kids would love this - we will give it a try this winter.

Wow, sounds like lots of fun, the kids will LOVE this the next time it snows


Dawn wrote:

I live in NY and I am not sure why all the ice cream shops close down in the winter. I’d patronize them most definitely. Turkey Hill Ice Cream is awesome and I like the opportunity to try so many different flavors. I don’t like them all, but that’s half the fun, just trying them. Keep up the good work and invent even more flavors, like Amaretto or wine based flavors.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Wow, snow ice cream sounds like fun. It could be useful too. If you have very young kids and you have had enough “snow fun” but the kids aren’t ready to give up. You can tell them it’s time to go inside and make snow ice cream!

We all eat snow cream down south. Except we don’t add vanilla- just milk, sugar and flavoring. Chocolate milk works real good- just make it, pour it on, then eat away. It’s not a real thick and creamy thing, but it’s good. Of course I am very fond of maple syrup poured into snow, too. Make sure to make it inside, otherwise the dogs and cats might help thmselves. And… never eat yellow snow. :)
