Recently, Tastemade, an online food and travel publication, posted on their Snapchat story a video titled, “Who Knew You Could Make Ice Cream In A Bag?” Intrigued, my friend and I decided to give it a go — because, you know, science.
Below is the recipe along with step by step instructions combined with our #SpoonTip notes.
Ice Cream in a Bag
Ingredients
Instructions
In the sandwich size bag, combine cream, milk and sugar.
#SpoonTip: Add chocolate chips or peppermint extract for other flavors besides vanilla.
Scoop ice into the galloon-sized bag half way full and pour in salt.
#SpoonTip: On our second try, we used an extra teaspoon or two and we noticed it worked faster.
Put sealed sandwich bag in the larger bag containing ice and salt. Seal the larger bag and begin shaking. Continuously shake for about 6-10 minutes.
#SpoonTip: I shook mine faster than my friend and she started about 5 minutes before me but mine froze faster. Don’t take breaks because it slows the chemical reaction. Use gloves to protect yourself from the coldness!
Serve and enjoy!
The Finished Product
I have to admit I was a little skeptical if this food experiment would work. My favorite was our bag that we added chocolate chips to — it actually tasted like chocolate chip ice cream. The peppermint tasted more like mouth wash than the type of gum so we gave that one a thumbs down.
