Whether you love it or hate it, if you live in a state that has four seasons, it’s right about time for snow.

Even though we love recipes for making our own simple ice cream or sorbet, it never occurred to us to actually put snow into these frozen desserts – until now!

In this truly great video, one mom talks about a tradition that she’s had through the years, and that’s making “snow” ice cream out of actual fresh snow. Using a few cups of freshly fallen snow, a little bit of cream, and some vanilla, she creates a sweet treat that’s actually much healthier than normal ice cream! It would make me a little nervous to use actual snow – since I live in the city – but maybe if I lived in the country I’d be more inclined to try this. After all, didn’t we all used to eat snow when we were little?

What do you think? Is this something you’d try?
