Ziploc Ice Cream

This is a great recipe when the kids want to help in the kitchen. If you're skeptical, that's okay. I was too the first time I tried this but it actually works. The ice cream is yummy and it comes with a bonus - 15 minutes of kids sitting relatively still. What busy mom couldn't use that? There's just one warning - this can be MESSY!

¼ c whipping cream
¼ c whole milk
½ t vanilla extract
1 ½ T sugar
6 T ice cream salt

Put cream, milk, vanilla, and sugar into a quart-sized freezer bag. Seal well. Fill a large gallon-sized freezer bag with crushed ice. Add the salt. Put the smaller bag into the larger bag and seal. Mix and mush (gently) until the ice cream thickens, about 15 minutes. The bag gets very cold so wear gloves and use a towel to hold it. Once thickened, set bag in the freezer for about 10 minutes to ripen ice cream and then eat and enjoy!
