There’s no more wonderful a seasonal treat than old fashioned snow cream (and oddly enough, it seems to be a Southern thing). A wonderful winter treat that your kids will look forward to every year. There are different ways you can make it. If you want it to be richer, you can use half a 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk instead of regular milk or cream.

March 25, 2025 1:25 amI grew up eating snow ice cream. I oniy remember my mom using evaporated milk. My momma always told us kids never to make snow ice cream from the first snow, as the first snow washed the sky of all the dirty stuff, dust (polution) etc. Back when she grew up her generation didn’t have many automobiles, at least not enough to know anything about polution/smog. What her generation did contend with most, were dust storms. She always insisted on gathering it soon after it stopped snowing to avoid potential bird droppings.
