How to Make Southern Snow Cream

  1. Gather 8 cups of fresh, clean snow. Place a large bowl outside to collect the snow, or collect it in a clean container.
  2. Ensure the bowl is very full (approximately 8 cups of packed snow).
  3. Add 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk (or substitute with 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk and 1/2 cup granulated sugar) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the snow.
  4. Gently mix the snow, milk (and sugar if substituting), and vanilla extract together. The snow will reduce in volume by about half as it melts.
  5. Continue mixing by hand until the mixture is thoroughly combined and creamy. This will take a few minutes.
  6. Stir in your favorite toppings such as chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts, if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Southern Snow Cream!
