Since we've had a bunch of snow in the past couple of weeks (the local
ski area has a base of 60", with another storm on the way, yipeee!), I
thought I'd share with you something my mom used to make for us. It
was a *rare* treat when we lived in North Carolina, but it's easier
here in northern New Mexico.
Mom called it snow cream, and it is simple and tasty:
1) Wait for a snow storm (this is the most difficult part)
2) Put out a bowl and let it fill up with fresh snow (you can also
just scoop up freshly fallen snow, but the standard warnings about
tinted snow apply :^) ). I think we use a two quart metal bowl.
3) Add milk or half-and-half (I prefer the latter) until you
have a thick slush. I add a little milk, stir, and repeat
until you have the right consistency.
4) Add several tablespoons of sugar and several of vanilla extract.
These are both "to taste". Stir.
5) Adding the vanilla might melt enough of the brew to make it too
thin, so add some more snow as needed.
That's it. I know the above is not very precise, but that's half
the fun of it.
We have also added other things like semi-sweet chocolate chips or
a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa for variety.
Enjoy...
