Which shall henceforth be known as Toddle-law (see what I did there? It’s amazing what you think of when walking the halls with a small child in the wee small hours of the morning.)
- 250 ml (1 cup) milk
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 – 7 cups snow*
Mix together milk, vanilla, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Slowly add the snow, stirring constantly, until it is thick. Add a splash of chocolate sauce and some sprinkles, and enjoy!

I tinkered with the recipe this morning and came up with a chocolate version:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence
- 1 standard bar of dark chocolate (150g)
- 5-7 cups of snow
Break chocolate into pieces and put in a pan with the other ingredients, then melt over a low heat. Or you could microwave it. Leave to cool, then add snow until thick as above!
*You want the fluffy stuff, not the heavy packed stuff. And, particularly if you have a dog, make sure it’s white! I had to go out for ours of course, not that it was hard. I simply opened the back door, reached down with the bowl and scooped. Didn’t even need my wellies!
In know- dogs do add the Russian Roulette element of risk to anything snow-based. Ice-cream was good though!
I love the advice for dog owners, always remember my Dad saying to me "Never eat yellow snow" 🙂
What a great idea though, (the ice cream that is not the yellow snow!)
