Step 1

Add the sugar, milk, and vanilla to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.  Set aside.

Step 2

Fill a large bowl with fresh clean snow.  Heap it up.  If it’s wet, heavy, dense snow, you won’t need as much as if your snow is dry and light.

Step 3

Slowly pour the liquid mixture into the snow, while gently mixing with a spatula at the same time.  The snow cream should be of the same consistency as homemade ice cream.  You might need to collect and add a little more snow if needed.

Step 4

Eat immediately.  Homemade snow cream melts quickly.

Step 5

Place any leftover snow cream in a freezer.  Note, it will be very firm when frozen but will melt quickly.
