Snow Ice Cream
Ingredients
* 8 cups snow, or shaved ice
* 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Place snow or shaved ice into a large bowl. Pour condensed milk over and add vanilla. Mix to combine. Serve immediately in bowls.
Other than the old joke about not eating yellow snow, this recipe is a joke. If you're in the pristine mountains of Montana, maybe, but I would never make snow ice cream if I was in...say, New Jersey. I wouldn't make it here, either.
I was tempted to make some with our last snowfall, even scooping some up in a large pitcher. Discovering I had no vanilla, I decided it wouldn't be as good as what we used to make as kids (and nuclear testing was still going on, which might explain some of my physical and mental deformities). I forgot to empty the pitcher and the next day the snow had melted, leaving a few pints of cloudy, dirty water.
Besides all that, I'm loathe to trust any recipe from a woman who has wigs made of butter.

My Dad used to make this for us. It was good. I haven't seen snow in about 32 years! Dang I'm getting old.
Yeah, I liked it as a kid, too, Carol. This post was really meant as a joke, not to disparage snow ice cream, but rather to poke a little fun at Paula Deen.
It just struck me as odd, this recipe coming from one of Food Network's "experts".
Here's MY recipe for snow ice cream
Go out to your car, scrape off the ice from the windshield, then drive to the store and buy some ice cream. -grin-
