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.
I just recently heard about this. I hear the kids really enjoy it, however I have a dog.
I’ll have to try it sometime.
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.
Even this one has calories!
We’ve tried this! Sometimes we vary the
extracts and sometimes I use flavored coffee cream. My favorite: Amaretto.
All good until a bird poops in it – LOL
The kids would be willing to try anything involving ice cream.
Heard of this before but never tried it.
Oh 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!
I think snow ice cream would be a different and unique flavor. with your expertice, it could be marketable.
Snow 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!
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!
aww, aren’t they adorable!! I don’t know that I’d want to try eating it though. Great prize today!!
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
I’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,
And don’t you eat that yellow snow!
Count me in! I don’t know about the snow ice cream, but the spade looks cool.
Yep, snow cream is a big deal down South. I’ve been eating since I was a tot.
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, sounds like lots of fun, the kids will LOVE this the next time it snows
My kids would love this – we will give it a try this winter.
Boo hoo – we never have snow!
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!!!!
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.
This sounds delicious!! I am going to try it soon! I used to love eating flavored snow as a kid. yummy memories!
My daughter (2 1/2) just discovered catching snow on her tongue and she liked that so I think she would really like this!
I’ve never heard of this before, seems as though the snow would just melt once you added all of the things to it!
Snow with maple syrup was always a favorite when I lived in Vermont.
I’ve heard of this before, but never tried it. Maybe the next time we’re snowed it I’ll give it a whirl.
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.
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.
no thanks, i like my ice cream out of the box
I like Cookies-n-Cream too!! I guessed that that would be the most popular new flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
Somehow, I think I’ll let you guys at Turkey Hill make my ice cream for me…
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?
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.
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!
Snow cream sounds like a good takeoff for a new Turkey Hill Ice Cream flavor..I would be willing to try that one…thanks.
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!!!!
we love snow cream!! in the good old days, we added raw eggs to make it even better!
SNOW 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.
Snow Ice Cream sounds great, a fun project to do with the kids.
Love your ice creams and iced teas! Could you make a sugar-free ice cream product as I am now on a low glycemic diet?
Ymmmmmm, sounds good. Gives new meaning to sticking your tongue out and catching snowflakes!
There 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!!!
Those snowmen are too cute!
Good looking hats!
Ice cream is my favorite dessert. I have it every night and top it with whipped cream.
What a great idea for the kids.
You can say they were dropped off by Santa for the good kids, and adults too……
I hope the snow is clean! We have dogs in the area…
I would like to try this
With 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 !!
Sounds like a good science project!!
Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!
Just wanted you to know
There was a cat on our back sill
With whom we shared our Turkey Hill.
Sounds yummy! Will have to try it!
Hmmmm… kitchen aid ice cream spade.
I like prizes that rhyme.
I am gonna have to try this. We have plenty of snow up here in NY to do it.
Snow ice cream—did it 55 years ago
Be careful not to scoop up the yellow snow!
I 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.
Can’t wait totry this with my class after x-mas break!!
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….
Waiting for the big snow.
But I rather eat Turkey Hill Ice Cream now.
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!
No snow? No Problem. I like shaved Ice Better. I can have it all year round. In different flavors too.
sounds like fun
Never tried it, probably never will. It snows down south ?
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.
Can you use yellow snow?
Guess the key is hitting it before the salt trucks, migrating geese, and my thundering herd of dogs all decorate the snow.
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.
Living in NYC, I suppose it would have to be “slush” ice cream. Looks interesting.
sounds like fun fox_ymcbhx@trashmail.net
Rather eat Turkey Hill Raspberry……
Very 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!!
yes have had it…yummo
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.
I 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.
This sounds very interesting, will have to check it out.
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.
Sounds interesting, but I think I’d like regular ice cream better!
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!!
I would much prefer Turkey Hill to anything made with snow-but maybe in an emergency?
I’ll stick to my my favorite – chocolate
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!!
Wow, another neat recipe. A word of advice stay away from the yellow snow, lol lol.
Love the blog Turkey Hill!
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!!
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.
I’ll try anything once.
Just give me the Turkey Hill ice cream.
i will have to give it a try
Everyone knows that Turkey Hill is the best!
All we need is a good snow.
Keep the snow outside, and the Turkey Hill inside. yum
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!
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.
Never had anything but jack on snow at sugering time as a kid … just might have to try this one!
Thanks. I’ll stick with Turkey Hill Ice Cream.
sounds good!
Well, if we ever get any more snow here….
Watch out Frosty!!!
vanilla will always be America’s favorite
I think I’ll have to give the Snow Ice Cream a try.
I’ll need to try this!
So all that snow in my yard might be useful after all!
WOW does this bring back memories
real ly good memories
SNOW ICE CREAM, YES I HAVE TO TRY THIS,”BUT” JUST DON’T EAT THE YELLOW SNOW!
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.
How about a chocolate, butter pecan, moose track. That would combine my favorites. Thanks for the consideration. Merry Christmas.
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.
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…
I’ve heard of this but never tried it. LOVE Turkey Hill………
Thank you for the calendar.
I just realized this morning that I hadn’t posted in quite some time! I was so mad….
I’ve never tried snow ice cream, but would be afraid to because of air pollution.
I will play in the snow and then eat my turkey hill
sounds interesting.
FACT: TURKEY HILL LOVES ME
FACT: THEY WANT ME TO BE A GRAND PRIZE WINNER
FICTION: I AM A HOPELESS DREAMER
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.
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!
Everytime we visit our daughter in VA(usually once a mth),,,,we have to purchase Peanut Butter Ripple…
MMMMMM MMMMMM GOOD! It akes a GREAT,,and easy dessert for dinner (and a GOOD midnight snack)!!!
Only tried some of the flavors, but my best is Vanilla with Root Beer pop.
This sounds like a great idea, can’t wait for snow so that we could try it!
and they say snow isn’t healthy?
Sounds like fun….not only for the kids but me too! hehehe
have to try it
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.
I loved this as a kid and want to try it again but I’m sure its not as good as Turkey Hill is.
That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! And yummy to boot, I’m sure!
This is a fun recipe to try on those winter snow days when the kids are home from school and looking for excitement. My kids LOVE this creation and they can make it themselves……….even better! It is surprisingly good, but eat it immediately since it won’t keep.
Today it is snowing………..I’m headed out with my bowl to collect some fresh flakes!
It actually snowed in South Carolina so I might try this recipe again for the first time in 10 years!

What a great thing; I remember making snow Ice Cream as a kid. Have not made it in many a year, I worry about all the pollutions in the air & in the snow. Does anyone know how safe the snow is for eating?
This is the first time i’ve ever seen an actual recipe for SNOW CREAM!! It brought back some very special memories of when my sister, Alice would make it for us. I loved it, and thought since she could make SMOW taste soooo goooood, she could make absolutely anything!! Thank’s for the memory!
