Camping Made Easy Freezer Bag Ice Cream Recipes

ICE CREAM IN A BAG

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup of half and half into a small ziploc bag.
• Add 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
• Seal the bag firmly and get any excess air out.
• In the larger ziploc bag, fill it about 1/2 way with ice. Add 1/4 cup of salt.
• Then add your small bag and fill with extra ice on top. Seal the large bag.
• Get gloves for shaking and shake for 6 minutes. *Gloves are needed since the salt makes the ice extra cold.
• Take the small bag out of the large bag and rinse the outside of the small bag with cold water. Make sure to rinse out the top part of the bag also (above the seal).
• Once done rinsing, carefully open the small bag to not get any remaining salt from the outside of the bag inside the bag.
• The ice cream will be a little icy looking to start. Use a spoon to mix it around and soften it up a bit. Scoop out and enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM IN A BAG NO COOKING! NO ICE CREAM MACHINE

Steps:

• For each child you will need:.
• 2 pint-size resealable plastic freezer bags.
• 1 gallon-size resealable plastic freezer bag.
• Gloves or towel to protect fingers.
• In a pitcher or large measuring cup, stir together the whipping cream, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla extract until sugar has dissolved.
• Pour about 1/2 cup of mixture into a pint-size plastic bag and seal carefully, squeezing out extra air. Place each sealed bag into a second pint-size bag, again squeezing out extra air. Seal carefully.
• Fill each gallon-size plastic bag about halfway with ice and add 1/2 cup coarse salt. Place one sealed small bag into the large bag, squeeze out most of the air, and seal the large bag.
• Wear mittens or thick gloves, or wrap the bag in a towel to protect hands against the extreme cold. Shake and massage the bag for about 5 minutes or until mixture thickens into ice cream. Add more salt and ice to the outer bag if ice cream hasn't formed after 10 minutes of continuous motion.
• Remove the outer pint-size bag before you open the inner bag so you don't get any of the salty ice on your ice cream!
