How to Make Ice Cream In A Ziplock Bag

  1. In a pint-sized zip-top bag, combine 1/2 cup milk (any kind), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Seal the bag tightly, pressing out any excess air.
  2. In a gallon-sized zip-top bag, add 2 cups of ice and 8 tablespoons (1 cup) of rock salt.
  3. Place the smaller zip-top bag (with the milk mixture) inside the gallon-sized bag with the ice and salt.
  4. Seal the gallon-sized bag tightly. Squish and gently shake the bag for 15-25 minutes, ensuring the smaller bag remains submerged in the ice and salt mixture. The ice cream will start to freeze and thicken.
  5. Remove the smaller bag from the larger bag. Carefully open the smaller bag and enjoy your homemade ice cream immediately!
