Ice Cream in a Bag

By debicakes62

5 minute ice cream good for kids to do too.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup half and half
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup salt (The bigger the granules,
• the better. Kosher or rock salt
• works best, but table salt is fine.)
• Ice cubes (enough to fill each gallon-
• size bag about half full)
• 1 pint-size ziplock bag
• 1 gallon-size ziplock bag

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the sugar, half and half and vanilla extract in the pint-size bag and seal it tightly.
Place the salt and ice in the gallon-size bag, then place the sealed smaller bag inside as well. Seal the larger bag. Now shake the bags until the mixture hardens (about 5 minutes). Feel the small bag to determine when it's done.
Take the smaller bag out of the larger one, add mix-ins, and eat the ice cream right out of the bag. Easy cleanup too! Serves 1.
