Snow Desserts

Okay so last night on the news we saw a viral trend about making ice cream out of snow.  I'm Canadian.  I love ice cream.  I have never done this.  It has never even occurred to me to do this.   Chris turns to me and says "we should do that." Well twist my rubber arm.   I wasn't feeling it last night though but tonight, when it's minus-stupid out, after it's been snowing all day?   OBVIOUSLY it's the right time to try this.

We decided to make vanilla because, well, that's the flavour we had on hand ;-P.   Chris even shoveled his way to my car to rescue my tall boots so we could go out in the snow.  

Ready to go

We prepped the ingredients first.  Chris and Alexa weren't getting along all that well but it had me laughing so hard I was crying.   In the end, Alexa acknowledged it had been outsassed by a master and Chris took the win.

Does it get more Canadian than this?

"This is Documentable!" 
lol one of my favourite lines of the night

We got ourselves dressed for winter and opened the back door for the first time in months - with no dogs, there's no reason to be out there once the winter hits - and discovered the broom (usually for sweeping the stairs for said dogs) was frozen to the deck.  Oops.  😂 

Learning as we go ;-P

I handed Chris the ingredients from the kitchen than moved to the other side for better filmography.  Once he remembered that snow was an actual ingredient it whipped up fairly quickly, using far less snow that the internet had suggested we would need 😂 

Says the least patient person around...

Work in progress...

I'll tell you, I wasn't sure this would work.  It did - surprisingly quickly and leading to actually really tasty ice cream.   We topped with sprinkles - mine red, Chris' gold (and also topped with rum lol)

It made a lot more than we'd expected, and was surprisingly tasty!

Also - today I learned that C and I really could do the you-tube thing, as long as he was the one in front of the camera, I was the one organizing, and there was a little bit of alcohol involved ;).  Also, this little snow adventure, despite being made OUTDOORS, made more of a mess of our kitchen than any normal cooking or baking ever does.
