Ice Cream in a Bag Recipe
This easy, kid-friendly treat perfectly suits summers. It requires you to just put ingredients inside two Ziploc bags as directed and shake to freeze the mixture. You can turn it into a valuable science experiment and lesson for children that they would absolutely love to ‘savor’.

- 2 gallon-sized Ziploc bags
- 2 cups heavy cream or half and half or whole milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup rock salt
- 6-8 cups ice
Put the ice and salt in a Ziploc bag
Put the heavy cream in another Ziploc bag.
Now put in the sugar and shake the bag to mix
Add the vanilla extract and shake again
Seal this 2nd bag completely, squeezing out any air trapped inside so that no salt enters it and put it inside the first bag containing the ice
Seal the first bag
Shake the 1st bag for around 5 minutes or until frozen. You should wear gloves for this step as the salt makes the ice extremely cold.
Take the inner bag out of the outer one and rinse the former with cold water, including the top part above the seal
Carefully open it so that no salt from outside this bag gets inside
You will find the ice cream inside a little icy at first. So you can use a spoon to move around the chunks a bit, so they mix and soften. Scoop and enjoy your homemade ice cream!
