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

By Mia Kane

I love to make Ice Cream. All sorts and every type of method. This method makes just one serving, but it's really great especially if you get kids involved. I have also done this at a dinner party, getting my guests all making their own serving. Very cool. (You don't know my friends). It's also great if you are babysitting some kids and don't know what to do with them. They really love this.

What you will need to have ready for this.

1/2 cup milk .You can use cream but milk is fine here too, and keeps it that bit healthier, even better would be to use half fat milk.

About a tablespoon of sugar.

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

Ice. Fill up your ice trays the day before, or if you forget, just nip out and buy some, it's cheap.

Salt. Rock salt is best, this can be bought. However you can also use household table salt.

2 plastic bags. I quart sized and 1 gallon sized. Remember you can improvise with this. It's just a rough guide.

Music that you can shake and move your butt to. Or just your kids favorite music.

So now let the games begin.

Take the sugar, flavoring that you have chosen and milk, and mix them all in a suitable bowl well. Then put them into the smallest bag. Seal up that bag well and good so that the mix will not under any circumstances escape.

Put the Ice (about 2 quarts) into the bigger bag with the salt. As a rough guide the big bag should be about half full with the ice and salt.

Ok so the technical bit. Take the little bag and fit it into the larger bag. Now here is where you need to be careful, remember both bags should be sealed really well as your ice cream is ruined if the mixture from the small get into the large ok?

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!
