Description
A nostalgic winter treat made from fresh snow, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. This recipe quickly combines the ingredients to create a soft-serve ice cream-like texture and is topped with a warm spiced maple drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 cups fresh snow, light and powdery
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 oz (397 g)
- 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Make Spiced Maple Drizzle: In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Gather Snow and Chill Bowl: Collect 12 cups of fresh, clean, powdery snow in a large mixing bowl. Place the bowl in the refrigerator or freezer to chill while you prepare other ingredients to prevent melting.
- Combine Snow Cream Ingredients: Pour the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract over the collected snow in the chilled bowl. Pour slowly and distribute evenly over the surface.
- Mix Snow Cream: Use a large sturdy spatula or spoon to quickly and gently fold the ingredients together. Continue mixing just until the mixture achieves a soft, creamy, ice-cream-like consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Scoop the fresh snow cream into individual chilled bowls. Drizzle generously with the cooled spiced maple sauce and garnish with an additional light dusting of cinnamon.
Notes
Use only fresh, powdery snow from the top layer. For best results, chill the mixing bowl first and work quickly to prevent melting. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a watery consistency; stop when it resembles soft serve ice cream.
