Bag of Ice Cream

The boys and I made some homemade ice cream in a bag today. We tried Family Fun's recipe. There is a great video on the Family Fun website, that you can watch and follow the steps.
We added blueberries, coconut, and banana's as our toppings in order to make it a more healthier snack.

Our conclusion was that even though it was fun, and yummy, it was A LOT of work for just a little icecream!!!

I've decided that we should invest in an ice cream machine.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
	2 tablespoons sugar
	1 cup half and half
	1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
	1/2 cup salt (The bigger the granules, the better. Kosher or rock salt works best, but table salt is fine.)
	Ice cubes (enough to fill each gallon-size bag about half full)
	1 pint-size ziplock bag
	1 gallon-size ziplock bag

1. Combine the sugar, half and half, and vanilla extract in the pint-size bag and seal it tightly.
2. Place the salt and ice in the gallon-size bag, then place the sealed smaller bag inside as well. Seal the larger bag. Now shake the bags until the mixture hardens (about 5 minutes). Feel the small bag to determine when it's done.
3. Take the smaller bag out of the larger one, add mix-ins, and eat the ice cream right out of the bag. Easy cleanup too! Serves 1.
