Fair warning: This recipe is best used with kids.
EACH PERSON will need:
1/2 c. Heavy Cream
1/2 c. Milk
2 Tablespoons corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (or other flavoring)
Stir all ingredients until syrup is thoroughly dissolved.
Pour mixture into a 1 quart size zip loc bag. Be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible.
In a separate 1Gallon zip loc bag place 3 cups of ice with 1 cup of salt. Add about 1/2 of salt after the 1st cup of ice, then add the rest of the salt after the 2nd cup of ice, finishing it off will the final cup of ice (sort of how you would layer lasagna or banana pudding)
Place the small Ziploc bag into the large Ziploc bag and shake for about 15 minutes (kids can do this kind of stuff). Add another 5 minutes if needed.
AFTERTHOUGHT ADVICE: double bag the Ziploc bags in case the kids decide to play tossing games or tie their bag to the dog. IJS)]
After the ice cream is firm, add in a 1-2 spoonfuls of sundae toppings (optional) and eat straight from the Ziploc bag! Mine would be caramel and nuts!
NOTES:
1. You can pre-measure the ingredients, or have the kids pour the liquids into a measuring cup (dollars stores usually have lots of them). Kids can keep them as party favors and repeat the recipe at home
2. If you decide to prepare the ingredients ahead of time, keep the small filled bags in a cool place.
