Best of all, it’s fun to do and a creative way to experiment around the kitchen with a new cooking method. If you have kids then try it with them and make sure to throw in a mini-science lesson because it’s a great way to learn!
To shake up a proper batch of ice cream you will need milk, cream, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. This style also requires the following tools and items to work; ice cubes, measuring bowls and spoons, a small plastic bag, a large freezer bag, and winter gloves.
First, in a bowl combine a ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of cream, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Carefully pour the mixture into a small plastic bag, squeeze all the air out, and seal tightly. Next, fill a freezer bag about halfway with 4 cups of ice then add in a generous amount of salt.
To speed up the process you can add about 8 tablespoons of salt. Place the small plastic bag into the larger one, seal that securely, and shake them very well for at least 5-10 minutes. It is recommended that you wear gloves for this part because it gets really cold. Remove the small bag and rinse off the salt so that it doesn’t contaminate the ice cream.
Now the good part!! Get a spoon and scoop the ice cream into a bowl, top with sprinkles or whatever add-ins you prefer, and eat it quick. This recipe makes about two servings and tastes delicious!
How does it work s quickly? This is the science behind it- The salt makes the ice cream freeze faster because it lowers the freezing point of the ice and melts it quicker.
Thus, the more salt the more energy gets taken from the ice, which results in a transfer of the melting ice’s coldness to the ice cream. That’s why you can shake your way to frozen, iced, creamy, tasty treats in a matter of minutes smile 🙂
