This is a wonderful treat to make with all the “Feet” of snow we get in Maine. Try it and enjoy. Just remember, the snow needs to be White!!! Not yellow, brown or have any other foreign material in it.
Make this nectar in a jar, so you can make just small batches of snow cream at a time. Keep the jar out in the snow until you want another cup. Exact measurements are not important, but the measurements here will help you get started.
Start with a big (24-ounce) jar, a can of condensed milk, vanilla, sugar and a can (12-ounce) of evaporated milk or a pint of Half & Half. Gather bowl of fluffy snow (icy snow won’t do). Pour condensed milk into the big jar along with a can of evaporated milk or equal amount (about 1/2 cups) of Half & Half. Add in a capful of vanilla (or more to taste). Add a little sugar (maybe two tablespoons to start, then taste). Put the lid on and shake, shake, shake! Put a few scoops of snow into a bowl or cup. Pour a little of the cream at a time over fluffy snow. Add more cream and stir until it is as thick or thin as you like it. I like mine custardy and thick enough to eat with a spoon.
Optional: Drizzle with chocolate syrup or top with strawberries, bananas or your favorite fruit for a snow cream sundae!
