It was a hot summer day and we didn’t have any ice cream in the house. We did, however, have a carton of half & half. Have you ever heard of ice cream in a bag?
The concept is simple. In a gallon size ziptop bag, you fill it half full with ice and 1/2c. rock salt.
In a quart size ziptop bag, you pour 1 c. half&half, 2T.sugar, and a dash of vanilla (or whatever flavor you like.)
You put the sealed quart bag into the gallon bag, close it up, and shake for 5 full minutes. My kiddos arms can’t really handle 5 minutes of shaking, so I sent them out to the trampoline to jump for 5 minutes!
Easy! And the added bonus of getting 5 minutes of exercise before indulging (shhh…don’t tell them it’s exercise!)
Happy kids!

Awesome!
Love the twist of making it while jumping on a trampoline! My kids LOVE making ice cream this way!!!
This looks like so much more fun than rolling the bag or can back and forth.
Thanks! It sure was more entertaining to watch too. (;
BRILLIANT! We’ve never made ice cream in a bag before. Sure wish we had a trampoline to try it this way!
What a great idea! I love the combination of secret exercising and making something from scratch.
