Last Updated on September 2, 2022

Today, we’re going to be looking at a snow ice cream recipe with eggs, and if you can’t have eggs – we’ll also be looking at an egg-free recipe. Snow ice cream is such an old recipe, but it’s still a family favorite in many countries across the world. I’m from the UK and unfortunately, we very rarely have any snow; so this is quite a tricky recipe for me to tackle!

Snow ice cream is super easy to make and doesn’t require many ingredients at all. And the best part about it is you can flavor it however you like! But I’m getting ahead of myself – you may not even know what snow ice cream is! Let’s take a closer look.

What Is Snow Ice Cream?

You can probably guess what snow ice cream is if you’re not familiar! But simply put, snow ice cream is ice cream made using snow as the main ingredient. A dairy-based liquid is then added to the fresh (and clean) snow to make a tasty dessert. It doesn’t get more refreshing than snow ice cream. It’s a perfect recipe to make with your family, with a tasty end product. It needs very few ingredients – most of which you’ll already have in your pantry.

It’s usually flavored with vanilla extract, but you can make the snow ice cream in any flavor that you’d like.

Snow Ice Cream Recipe With Eggs #1

We’ll be taking a look at three different recipes, with slightly varying ingredients, so you never have to go without snow ice cream once the snow begins to fall! They’re all super easy. The first recipe is inspired by one from All Recipes.

Ingredients

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are:

1 can of evaporated milk
2 beaten eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (or flavoring of your choice)
3/4 cup of white sugar
1 gallon of fresh, clean snow

Recipe

Now all you need to do is:

Grab a large bowl and add the milk, eggs, flavoring extract, and sugar. Mix well until smooth. Once smooth, add the snow in slowly. Once you’ve reached a consistency of ice cream that you’re happy with, your snow ice cream is ready! Eat immediately.

Snow Ice Cream Recipe With Eggs #2

This recipe is inspired by one from Food.com. It’s far more traditional and requires a little more effort than the previous.

Ingredients

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are:

1 quart of milk
1 egg
1 cup of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or flavoring of your choice)
fresh, clean snow

Recipe

Now all you need to do is:

Step 1: Make a custard

Grab a pan and add the milk, egg, flavoring extract, sugar, and salt. Make a custard over a medium heat. Once it reaches a custard consistency, remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 2: Make the ice cream

Now grab a large bowl and alternately pour some of the custard mixture, and then the snow, continually stirring as you go. Once you have reached the consistency you’d like – your ice cream is ready!

Snow Ice Cream Recipe Without Eggs

The last recipe we’re looking at does not require the use of eggs and only needs just three ingredients! It’s inspired by a recipe from Happy Hooligans.

Ingredients

The ingredients you’ll need for this recipe are:

8-12 cups of snow
10oz of sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or flavoring of your choice)

Recipe

Now all you need to do is:

Add most of your snow to a bowl and pour over your vanilla extract. Mix together and then add your condensed milk and stir once more. Once all combined, you may want to add some of the leftover snow to reach the consistency you’d like. Serve immediately. If not ready to eat, you can freeze in an airtight container and enjoy when you’re ready.
