- Safety Notes:
- While experts say that it is generally safe to eat snow in moderation, they offer a few considerations:
- Collecting Snow - Before we made our snow cream, I did some research to make sure that it was ok to do so. One of the tips I loved was to put out a big bowl to catch the snow, so that it never touches the ground. Wait a couple hours into the snow event, to allow the snow to do its filtering work (more on that below) and then put a big bowl, or several bowls, out to catch clean snow to make your snow ice cream.
- Flavorings - The sweetened condensed milk already has a sweet flavor. You could also add peppermint extract, almond extract, chocolate syrup, freeze-dried fruit, or even coffee creamer!
- Variations - If you don't have sweetened condensed milk at home, you could instead use 1 cup of regular cream or milk, along with 1/2 cup of sugar to make it sweet.
- Do not eat yellow or discolored snow
- Do not eat snow that has been disturbed
- Wait a couple hours after the snowfall begins to start collecting snow
