Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh snow (or shaved ice)

- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (or sweetened condensed milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, chocolate syrup, or macerated fruit
Instructions
- Start by gathering fresh, clean snow in a large bowl. Ensure it’s untouched and free of contaminants.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. If using sweetened condensed milk, skip the sugar.
- Pour the milk mixture over the snow and stir gently until the snow absorbs the liquid and reaches a creamy consistency. Add more snow if needed to adjust texture.
- Serve immediately in bowls or cones, adding your favorite toppings like sprinkles or syrup for extra flavor.

Recipe Notes
- Use fresh snow collected shortly after snowfall for best results. Avoid snow that has been stepped on or exposed to dirt.
- If you don’t have access to snow, shaved ice can be used as a substitute.
- For dairy-free options, replace milk with almond, soy, or coconut milk. Adjust sweetness accordingly.
- Snow ice cream melts quickly—serve immediately after preparation for the best experience! Leftovers can be frozen but will lose their fluffy texture.
