Required ingredients for the trending dessert are cream, sugar — powdered sugar fits best — vanilla extract and salt. Condensed milk, nuts and chocolate chips can be added to taste.
Making ice cream in a snowdrift
Pour 500 milliliters of cream into a bowl or a saucepot, and add sugar and vanilla extract to taste. Dig a small hole in snow, sprinkle 100 grams of salt in it, and place the container with cream inside. Constantly stir the mixture with a whisk to help it chill faster.
In 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the weather and serving size, soft vanilla ice cream will be ready, which can be served in cups or eaten immediately with a spoon. For flavor, you can add chocolate or wafer crumbs, coconut flakes, fruit jellies or condensed milk.
Notably, ice cream was made the same way before the invention of the freezer. The first recipes are attributed to China, where fresh fruits were mixed directly with snow and mountain ice.
