Homemade Freezer Bag Ice Cream In Just 15 Minutes!

Nothing hits the spot on a long hot summer day better than ice cream, am I right? I have to confess that even though I’m all grown up, when I hear the ice cream truck I’m tempted to run after it. 🙂 Unfortunately, ice cream truck habits are expensive. Recently, I discovered how to make homemade freezer bag ice cream which is more budget friendly.

Plus with all the demand for freezer bag ice cream, you’ll have killer arms. Seriously, like Michelle Obama arms!

INGREDIENTS/MATERIALS

1 Cup half and half
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Cup coarse sea salt
Ice
Sprinkles (optional)
Gallon and quart sized freezer bags

DIRECTIONS

1. Fill a large (gallon) Ziploc bag halfway with ice.

2. Add sea salt to the bag.

3. Pour half and half, sugar, and vanilla into the smaller (quart) freezer bag and seal.

4. Place the small Ziploc bag in the larger bag, seal the larger bag, and shake for 5 minutes.
