Nothing says “summer” like swimming, cookouts and homemade ice cream! Thanks to technology, and creative minds, it’s never been easier to make homemade ice cream. Whether you have an electric ice cream maker like the one here, or just a couple of hands, you can have your own, customized ice cream ready to enjoy in minutes.
One of our favorite ways to make ice cream for our family is to use Ziploc bags. There is zero mess and every family member gets to make whatever flavor they like! All you need is half and half, sugar, vanilla extract and your favorite ice cream flavors or fillings.
Simply add crushed ice and epsom salt to a gallon sized Ziploc bag. Place half and half, sugar (or other preferred sweetener), vanilla extract and fillings in a sandwich sized Ziploc bag. Put smaller bag inside of the large bag of ice and seal. Toss and mash until ice cream is firm. Spoon into serving bowl and enjoy!
Follow the recipe below to make your own ice cream in a bag. Let us know in the comments what flavor you’ll be making.
