Home Made Ice Cream in 10 minutes from Food Storage

What you would say it I told you there is a way to make delicious, home made ice cream in just 10 minutes?

And if I said it only costs about $0.55 / cup?

And if I said it could be made from food storage?

And if I said you could make just as much as you wanted to eat right then?

Can you tell I'm a bit excited about this?

I have lots of fond memories from my childhood that surround home made ice cream and just ice cream in general.  I think it is a favorite treat for my parents and everyone of my siblings.  I often crave it, but don't have any in the fridge (b/c I try not to buy it or I know I will eat the entire carton in a matter of days).

Well, after reading about homemade ice cream in a bag, and homemade ice cream with Thrive instant milk, I decided to combine the two ideas.  Boy am I ever glad I did!  This was quick, easy, fun for my kids and so very delicious!  Plus, since it is made with non-fat milk it is fat free!  My only tip is to be sure you use the THRIVE instant milk as it is hands down the best instant milk I've ever tasted.  It really does taste just like fresh.
 

10 minute Home Made Ice Cream

1 cup water
5 T. Thrive Instant Milk
3 T. Sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla
1 gallon sized bag
1 quart sized bag
Ice
1 cup salt


Mix water, milk, sugar and vanilla in quart sized bag.  Seal well.  

Fill Gallon sized bag half way full with ice and sprinkle salt over it.  Place quart sized bag inside gallon bag.  Shake and turn bag (do a little dance if you want...we did!) for 5-7 minutes.  
Open gallon sized bag and remove quart sized bag.  
Quickly rinse it off with cold water.  
Open and serve yourself some ice cream!  
Enjoy!
