8-10 cups fresh, clean snow (light and fluffy is best)
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (chilled is best)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Collect the Snow: Gather fresh snow in a large bowl. Avoid snow that has touched the ground, trees, or is discolored.
Combine: Pour the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla over the snow.
Mix: Fold the ingredients together gently with a spoon or spatula until it reaches a creamy, soft-serve consistency.
Serve: Enjoy immediately as it melts quickly.
Alternative "From-Scratch" Recipe
If you do not have sweetened condensed milk, use this version:
1 cup milk or cream (whole milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream)
1/3 to 1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (optional, to balance sweetness)
8-10 cups clean snow
Instructions:
Whisk the milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
Optional: Chill this mixture in the refrigerator or freezer before adding to the snow.
Slowly fold the mixture into the snow until it reaches the desired consistency.
