Cool Dinner Party Trick - Make Ice Cream In A Plastic Bag

By Mia Kane

This is a really cool thing to do, and my children love it. Actually so do my friends, it's great fun at a dinner party, or barbecue too. But I know no better way on a rainy day, when baby sitting some children to get them entertained, involved and quite! This method makes just one serving.

Ingredients that you will need.

Milk about half a cup, cream is ok too, but I prefer to use milk, keeps it healthier.

1 tablespoon of sugar.

1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, or cocoa powder.

Lots of ice, if you don't have enough you can buy it cheaply in any store or just fill up your ice trays or ice bags in advance.

You will need either rock salt or table salt for this method. Either is fine, though I think rock salt may be cheaper to use.

1 plastic bag that is quart sized and 1 plastic bag that is gallon sized.

Some good get on down music that you can dance to or that your kids love.

Ok now your ready to make your ice cream.

So take the milk, the sugar and the flavoring you have chosen and mix them together in a bowl, the put the mix into your small bag and seal it tightly so that it can't leak out.

Take your ice out of the freezer, you will probably need about 2 quarts, and place in the bigger bag with the salt. The ice and salt should fill about half of the big bag.

Now take the small bag and put it into the big bag. The most important thing here is to make sure that both bags are are sealed really well as you don't want them mixing together. You can use tape if needed, that's fine.

Now put on some great music and shake those bags, shake them and agitate them and massage them, (be careful not to split them). You can do this for between 10 - 15 minutes. In this time your mixture will have turned into solid ice cream. Magic! Now eat and enjoy!
