Ziplock Baggie Ice Cream

Tweet

I saw this idea of making ziplock baggie "ice cream" online early this month. I was looking for ideas to help my daughter's girl scout troop earn their "Make it Eat it" Try it, and saw this idea listed. What you'll need: 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 cup milk or half & half 1/4 teaspoon vanilla 6 tablespoons rock salt 1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc) 1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag Ice cubes How to make it: Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag. Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it. Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully. Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes. Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy! Tips: A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don't increase the proportions more that that -- a large amount might be too big for kids to pick-up because the ice itself is heavy. Have any of you guys tried this? Is it eas easy as it sounds? And is there a certian way to flavor it? Or do you have any other ideas for the Make It Eat It Try it. My girl scout troop meets in a church so we don't really have access to a kitchen so I am looking for something like this idea to do, that would be fun for a bunch of a7 year olds!
