My little girls’ greatest pleasure on a snowy day is to run outside without coat or mittens, fill a bowl with fresh, clean snow, and then run back inside to help make a bowl of snow ice cream. Sometimes our snow ice crean is simple, just powdered sugar stirred into snow. Sometimes it’s very elaborate, with pudding mix, vanilla, and heavy cream.

The one thing that is guaranteed to never change? It’s ALWAYS delicious. So whether you’re faced with the only snow that you’ll probably get this winter, or the thousandth snowstorm with a thousand more waiting for you before spring appears, you’ll find that one of these recipes for snow ice cream is going to be just the recipe for you. So be sure to write it down, because one day your kiddos will want to make snow ice cream for their own kiddos, and they’ll want to make it just the way that you always did.
