  2. Put the ice and salt in a large resealable bag then place the small big inside the big bigger bag, seal the big bag.
  3. Shake the big bag vigorously for 5-7 minutes or until ice cream has hardened.
  4. Remove the smaller bag from the bigger bag and scoop out ice cream into bowls. Top with favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Ice cream is best stored in a freezer-safe air tight container. You can also place ice cream in a pie dish or loaf pan and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Homemade ice cream made in a bag will last in the freezer for about a month if stored properly. Any longer, and ice crystals will begin to form.
  • Change up the flavor of ice cream by adding cocoa power or extracts like peppermint or strawberry!
  • If you need to double or triple this recipe, be sure you divide the mixture evenly into separate bags so that it freezes thoroughly.
  • Make sure all of your ice cubes are separate cubes when you add them to the bag and avoid having large chunks of ice.
