It’s snowing almost everywhere in America today, and I thought I would republish this recipe for snow cream. It has many variations, depending on your preference, so read through the post before you get to the recipe.
Easy Snow Cream from Spinach Tiger

Snow Cream or Snow Ice Cream is one of those wintery pleasures that comes with a big fluffy snowfall.

How healthy it is depends on what kind of milk and sweetener  you put in it. I prefer to use stevia to sweeten it, because for some reason that little bit of stevia goes a long way.

I did see a recipe that claims the Southern way is to use sweetened condensed milk. Holy Sweet Cow! That would taste good, but the calories would be way too much for me. I switched sugar for Swerve,  but stuck with Fairlife whole milk, because snow cream needs the higher fat content. You can use any milk you choose. See variations below. 

I didn’t grow up on snow cream, but my husband did until his mother read an article about the possible dangers of eating snow.

Is the snow safe to eat?

Generally speaking, yes, according to this article. However, be smart about it, and don’t take the first flurries, which act as an environment scrubber. Don’t eat snow mixed with dirt, or close to where you have pesticides. I have a deck and considered that the best and cleanest place to gather my snow.

I played around until I got the consistency I liked, and look how good it looks.

It tastes like a cross between vanilla ice cream and vanilla sorbet.

The only sweetener I use to replace sugar is Swerve. I used one cup of milk and 2 tablespoons Swerve, a teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt. Taste the milk. See if it’s sweet enough for you. It will lose some of what you taste, once you put your snow in the mix. You may want it sweeter. You can use liquid stevia (just a few drops).

Variations on Snow Cream

Southern Snow Cream: Change the milk to condensed.

Paleo Snow Cream: Use almond milk or coconut milk and honey, stevia, Swerve or maple syrup for sweetener.

Sugar Free Snow Cream: Use milk of choice, Swerve (powdered erythritol), Vanilla

Orange Cream Snow Cream: Replace two tablespoons of milk with freshly squeezed orange juice and teaspoon orange zest.

Healthier Snow Cream: Use low fat milk, stevia or Swerve, Vanilla

Keto Snow Cream: Use heavy cream, Swerve, Vanilla

Add Sprinkles for fun.

Snow Cream Tips

  • Use a stainless steel bowl that has been in freezer.
  • Make sure all ingredients are mixed together and placed in bowl in freezer for about 10 minutes (or put them outside if it’s still super cold).
  • Have everything ready. Then gather snow.
  • Snow texture varies and you may not use all of it.

I’m thinking I could list endless possibilities for flavoring snow cream. I’m wondering what a little whiskey might do.

Here are a few I’ve found that are most interesting.
