Snow Cream!

If you live in the Southeast you probably got hit by the winter storm Remus. This Roman twin (or lovable Harry Potter character) brought an amazing 7 inches of snow to my doorstep in Huntsville, Alabama. Snowmageddon 2015 is officially here and that means it's time for some snow cream!

Snow cream is not an exact science. It depends on the type of snow and how cold it is. I decided to make Kahlua ice cream today before the snow melts.

First you prepare a bowl of milk. I used about 3/4 C coconut milk. I think the thick canned stuff would probably be best. Then I mixed in about an ounce of Kahlua, and a tablespoon of maple syrup. (Usually I add vanilla extract, but I omitted it because of the Kahlua.)

It's best to chill the bowl by placing the entire concoction outside in the snow for a bit. After 10 minutes or so, get ready to eat. I use the top of the car to scoop snow off, since it's relatively clean up there. With spoon and bowl in hand, grab a handful of snow and briskly cut it into the milk mixture. Keep adding snow until you have reached desire consistency. I used three handfuls this morning.

Eat it quick! With no chemicals, this frozen dessert melts quick.

What other types of booze can we put in snow cream? If we got more snow in the South, I'd have a lot more ideas. What do you put in your snow cream?
