Ice cream is 100% part of our monthly grocery shopping list, sometimes we have to make a second set of buys midway through the month. My son loves any kind of ice cream and my husband especially loves vanilla and fudge ice cream. As I am typing and editing and re-editing this post my son came and asked for some of the chocolate and salty fudge ice-cream in the fridge.

To make our ice cream eating sessions more interesting, apart from the different and variety of toppings, I decided to plan an ice cream making session through using science.

Make ice cream in a bag.

You will need the following:

1. 1 cup whole milk (full cream milk)
2. 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3. 2 tablespoons of sugar
4. 1/2 cup of kosher salt
5. Ice cubes
6. Large and small ziplock bags.

Makes enough for one serving

Instructions

1. Measure out all the ingredients.
2. Combine the milk, sugar and vanilla extract in the small bag.
3. Throw the large ziplock bag halfway full with ice cubes.
4. Sprinkle the kosher salt over the ice cubes.
5. Place the small ziplock bag inside the bag of ice and salt mixture. Make sure both of the bags are sealed perfectly.
6. Start shaking the bag.
7. Shake for about 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture begins to set (harden) to the consistency you like ice cream to be.
8. When you are satisfied to remove the small bag and place the ice cream in the bowl.
9. ENJOY!

This is a little short post to start off the weekend, one of the few we get. Cherish every single moment you have with your children.
