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
goes!
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).


If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! And yummy to boot, I’m sure!
December 24th, 2007 at 11:41 pmI loved this as a kid and want to try it again but I’m sure its not as good as Turkey Hill is.
December 24th, 2007 at 6:14 pmOur 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.
December 24th, 2007 at 7:00 amSounds like fun….not only for the kids but me too! hehehe
December 23rd, 2007 at 3:33 pmhave to try it
and they say snow isn’t healthy?
December 23rd, 2007 at 12:32 pmThis sounds like a great idea, can’t wait for snow so that we could try it!
December 23rd, 2007 at 12:07 amOnly tried some of the flavors, but my best is Vanilla with Root Beer pop.
December 22nd, 2007 at 10:36 pmEverytime we visit our daughter in VA(usually once a mth),,,,we have to purchase Peanut Butter Ripple…
December 22nd, 2007 at 7:36 pmMMMMMM MMMMMM GOOD! It akes a GREAT,,and easy dessert for dinner (and a GOOD midnight snack)!!!
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!
December 22nd, 2007 at 4:28 pmWe’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.
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:21 pmFACT: TURKEY HILL LOVES ME
FACT: THEY WANT ME TO BE A GRAND PRIZE WINNER
FICTION: I AM A HOPELESS DREAMER
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:48 pmsounds interesting.
December 22nd, 2007 at 10:52 amI will play in the snow and then eat my turkey hill
December 22nd, 2007 at 10:41 amI’ve never tried snow ice cream, but would be afraid to because of air pollution.
December 22nd, 2007 at 10:38 amI just realized this morning that I hadn’t posted in quite some time! I was so mad….
December 22nd, 2007 at 10:06 amI’ve heard of this but never tried it. LOVE Turkey Hill………
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:50 amThank you for the calendar.
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…
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:32 amHow adorable! I can’t wait to make those with my family next year! I’m looking forward to accessorizing them. What a darling idea.
December 22nd, 2007 at 9:19 amHow about a chocolate, butter pecan, moose track. That would combine my favorites. Thanks for the consideration. Merry Christmas.
December 22nd, 2007 at 7:39 amYou 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.
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:25 amSNOW ICE CREAM, YES I HAVE TO TRY THIS,”BUT” JUST DON’T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW!
December 22nd, 2007 at 3:03 amreal ly good memories
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:12 amWOW does this bring back memories
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:11 amSo all that snow in my yard might be useful after all!
December 22nd, 2007 at 2:01 amI’ll need to try this!
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:44 amI think I’ll have to give the Snow Ice Cream a try.
December 22nd, 2007 at 1:44 amvanilla will always be America’s favorite
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:57 amWatch out Frosty!!!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:41 amWell, if we ever get any more snow here….
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:33 amsounds good!
December 22nd, 2007 at 12:30 amThanks. I’ll stick with Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:58 pmNever had anything but jack on snow at sugering time as a kid … just might have to try this one!
December 21st, 2007 at 11:45 pmWow,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.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:41 pmI 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!
December 21st, 2007 at 11:40 pmKeep the snow outside, and the Turkey Hill inside. yum
December 21st, 2007 at 11:17 pmAll we need is a good snow.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:11 pmEveryone knows that Turkey Hill is the best!
December 21st, 2007 at 11:09 pmi will have to give it a try
December 21st, 2007 at 11:08 pmJust give me the Turkey Hill ice cream.
December 21st, 2007 at 11:05 pmI’ll try anything once.
December 21st, 2007 at 10:49 pmI 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 10:41 pmWe 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!!
December 21st, 2007 at 10:34 pmWow, another neat recipe. A word of advice stay away from the yellow snow, lol lol.
Love the blog Turkey Hill!
December 21st, 2007 at 10:33 pmSnow 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!!
December 21st, 2007 at 10:30 pmI’ll stick to my my favorite - chocolate
December 21st, 2007 at 10:28 pmI would much prefer Turkey Hill to anything made with snow-but maybe in an emergency?
December 21st, 2007 at 10:28 pmThis 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!!
December 21st, 2007 at 10:22 pmSounds interesting, but I think I’d like regular ice cream better!
December 21st, 2007 at 10:18 pmGrew 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 10:09 pmThis sounds very interesting, will have to check it out.
December 21st, 2007 at 9:52 pmI would love to try this recipe with our preschool classrooms. I’m sure to get a lot of eager parent volunteers for this cooking lesson.
December 21st, 2007 at 9:47 pmI 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 9:35 pmyes have had it…yummo
December 21st, 2007 at 9:33 pmVery creative recipe, but WOW I would LOVE a KitchenAid IceCream Spade!!!!! That would be so great!! I have a penguin ice cream scooper that I use occasionally when I’m not ahem… using my own spoon, but my TH always sticks to it, I need a new one!! Go TH with the cool ideas! I’ll be sure to share this recipe with my 5 year old niece, she’d love it!!
December 21st, 2007 at 9:24 pmRather eat Turkey Hill Raspberry……
December 21st, 2007 at 9:22 pmsounds like fun fox_ymcbhx@trashmail.net
December 21st, 2007 at 9:22 pmLiving in NYC, I suppose it would have to be “slush” ice cream. Looks interesting.
December 21st, 2007 at 8:41 pmWe 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 8:17 pmGuess the key is hitting it before the salt trucks, migrating geese, and my thundering herd of dogs all decorate the snow.
December 21st, 2007 at 8:14 pmCan you use yellow snow?
December 21st, 2007 at 8:10 pmI 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 8:07 pmNever tried it, probably never will. It snows down south ?
December 21st, 2007 at 8:02 pmsounds like fun
December 21st, 2007 at 7:58 pmNo snow? No Problem. I like shaved Ice Better. I can have it all year round. In different flavors too.
December 21st, 2007 at 7:57 pmMy 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!
December 21st, 2007 at 7:50 pmWaiting for the big snow.
December 21st, 2007 at 7:24 pmBut 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….
December 21st, 2007 at 7:23 pmCan’t wait totry this with my class after x-mas break!!
December 21st, 2007 at 7:22 pmI think one of my aunts used to make snow ice cream years ago when I as much younger. It was pretty good. I have no idea how she did it.
December 21st, 2007 at 7:16 pmBe careful not to scoop up the yellow snow!
December 21st, 2007 at 7:10 pmSnow ice cream—did it 55 years ago
December 21st, 2007 at 7:01 pmI am gonna have to try this. We have plenty of snow up here in NY to do it.
December 21st, 2007 at 6:54 pmHmmmm… kitchen aid ice cream spade.
December 21st, 2007 at 6:54 pmI like prizes that rhyme.
Sounds yummy! Will have to try it!
December 21st, 2007 at 6:52 pmHeigh Ho! Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!
December 21st, 2007 at 6:51 pmJust wanted you to know
There was a cat on our back sill
With whom we shared our Turkey Hill.
Sounds like a good science project!!
December 21st, 2007 at 6:44 pmWith all the animals in my yard I’m not sure about snow ice cream…I grew up with snow and have never heard of this !! If I could get clean snow maybe…. the spade is cool though and we are happy with icecream from the freezer !!
December 21st, 2007 at 6:36 pmI would like to try this
December 21st, 2007 at 6:29 pmI hope the snow is clean! We have dogs in the area…
December 21st, 2007 at 6:28 pmWhat a great idea for the kids.
December 21st, 2007 at 6:25 pmYou can say they were dropped off by Santa for the good kids, and adults too……
Ice cream is my favorite dessert. I have it every night and top it with whipped cream.
December 21st, 2007 at 6:19 pmGood looking hats!
December 21st, 2007 at 6:06 pmThose snowmen are too cute!
December 21st, 2007 at 5:32 pmThere is too much industrial waste. I wouldn’t eat anything that drops from the sky, but the spade looks cool! I love Turkey Hill ice cream. My favorite flavor is eggnog. Yummie!!!
December 21st, 2007 at 5:27 pmYmmmmmm, sounds good. Gives new meaning to sticking your tongue out and catching snowflakes!
December 21st, 2007 at 5:27 pmLove your ice creams and iced teas! Could you make a sugar-free ice cream product as I am now on a low glycemic diet?
December 21st, 2007 at 5:23 pmSnow Ice Cream sounds great, a fun project to do with the kids.
December 21st, 2007 at 5:15 pmSNOW ICE CREAM: neat, never heard of this, and i’m in NJ. maybe i’ll try this in jan/feb when it usually snows around here. the spade looks sturdy too.
December 21st, 2007 at 4:59 pmwe love snow cream!! in the good old days, we added raw eggs to make it even better!
December 21st, 2007 at 4:58 pmWe 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 4:31 pmI 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 4:28 pmThis 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!
December 21st, 2007 at 4:27 pmoh 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 4:26 pmI 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?
December 21st, 2007 at 4:16 pmSomehow, I think I’ll let you guys at Turkey Hill make my ice cream for me…
December 21st, 2007 at 4:09 pmI like Cookies-n-Cream too!! I guessed that that would be the most popular new flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
December 21st, 2007 at 4:05 pmno thanks, i like my ice cream out of the box
December 21st, 2007 at 3:56 pmWon’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.
December 21st, 2007 at 3:55 pmThis 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 3:21 pmI’ve heard of this before, but never tried it. Maybe the next time we’re snowed it I’ll give it a whirl.
December 21st, 2007 at 3:20 pmSnow with maple syrup was always a favorite when I lived in Vermont.
December 21st, 2007 at 3:16 pmI’ve never heard of this before, seems as though the snow would just melt once you added all of the things to it!
December 21st, 2007 at 3:06 pmMy daughter (2 1/2) just discovered catching snow on her tongue and she liked that so I think she would really like this!
December 21st, 2007 at 3:04 pmThis sounds delicious!! I am going to try it soon! I used to love eating flavored snow as a kid. yummy memories!
December 21st, 2007 at 3:03 pmI’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.
December 21st, 2007 at 3:01 pmLoved 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!!!!
December 21st, 2007 at 3:00 pmBoo hoo - we never have snow!
December 21st, 2007 at 2:49 pmMy kids would love this - we will give it a try this winter.
December 21st, 2007 at 2:42 pmWow, sounds like lots of fun, the kids will LOVE this the next time it snows
December 21st, 2007 at 2:41 pmI 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 2:40 pmMerry Christmas!!!!!!!!!
Yep, snow cream is a big deal down South. I’ve been eating since I was a tot.
December 21st, 2007 at 2:31 pmCount me in! I don’t know about the snow ice cream, but the spade looks cool.
December 21st, 2007 at 2:19 pmI’ve never liked snow ice cream…give me good ‘ol Turkey Hill outta the freezer. And, of course, this reminds me of the old saying:
Watch out where those huskies go,
December 21st, 2007 at 2:15 pmAnd don’t you eat that yellow snow!
FACT: IT’S OKAY TO EAT IF IT’S TURKEY HILL-SNOW ICE CREAM
FICTION: IT’S OKAY TO EAT IF IT’S ANY OTHER ICE CREAM
December 21st, 2007 at 2:06 pmaww, aren’t they adorable!! I don’t know that I’d want to try eating it though. Great prize today!!
December 21st, 2007 at 2:02 pmWow, 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!
December 21st, 2007 at 2:01 pmSnow Cream - now there is an idea for the name of a new Turkey Hill product. But seriously real snow cream is nothing compared to Turkey Hill!
December 21st, 2007 at 1:52 pmI think snow ice cream would be a different and unique flavor. with your expertice, it could be marketable.
December 21st, 2007 at 1:45 pmOh course I have had snow Ice Cream We always made this when we are kids. It was SOOOOOO Yummy. Haven’t had it in years. I will have to make some for my kids. IT is great. Well I am getting ready to go to the store and buy some more turkey Hill Ice Cream. YUMMMY!
December 21st, 2007 at 1:41 pmHeard of this before but never tried it.
December 21st, 2007 at 1:34 pmThe kids would be willing to try anything involving ice cream.
December 21st, 2007 at 1:30 pmAll good until a bird poops in it - LOL
December 21st, 2007 at 1:28 pmWe’ve tried this! Sometimes we vary the
December 21st, 2007 at 1:17 pmextracts and sometimes I use flavored coffee cream. My favorite: Amaretto.
Even this one has calories!
December 21st, 2007 at 1:12 pmWe 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.
December 21st, 2007 at 1:10 pmI’ll have to try it sometime.
December 21st, 2007 at 1:07 pmI just recently heard about this. I hear the kids really enjoy it, however I have a dog.
