With winter being right around the corner, people are beginning to
settle indoors, readying to embrace the season filled with hot cocoa and
cozy moments around the fireplace. But what about those who still crave
that sweet, frozen treat?

What if they don’t want to leave the comfort of their home? Well now they don’t have to. Meet the five minute ice cream, a four- ingredient recipe that carries a technique that works just as good as an ice cream maker. Don’t believe it?

Time to give it a try:

Prep Time: 2 min.

Cook Time: 5 min.
Servings: 1 person

Ingredients
For the ice cream:
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup cream or half&half
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For freezing
• 1 cup ice cream rock salt
• ice
Other
• 1 small ziplock bag
• 1 large ziplock bag

Instructions
Add the whole milk, cream (or half&half), sugar, and vanilla
extract to a mixing cup and stir until well combined. Pour into
a small, quality ziplock bag, and before sealing, remove as much
air as possible.

Now to create the ice cream maker, get another ziplock bag, one that is much
larger than the bag with your ice cream mix in it. And you want to fill that bag
with a couple handfuls of ice and about half of the rock salt. The same applies
here: make sure it’s a quality bag.

Now place the smaller bag inside the
larger bag. Cover it with more ice and the other half of the rock salt.

Now the fun part! Wrap the bag in a towel, because it’s going to get really
cold, and shake it for 5 minutes. It’ll take some exercise, but with that, the mixture
would begin to thicken up and turn into ice cream.

Once five minutes are up, scoop up the
ice cream and enjoy!
