Easy Two-Ingredient Ice Cream Recipe

Easy Two-Ingredient Ice Cream Recipe

What can’t you do with a Stasher bag? You can make microwave popcorn, ramen, sous vide just about anything… and even make homemade ice cream! All you’ll need are a few simple ingredients and a little bit of patience to whip up a cooling treat.

Making ice cream in a Stasher bag is a fun activity for kids, a great portable dessert for picnics or parties (a cooler can keep your ice cream chilled) or an easy way to satisfy an ice cream craving. This recipe makes a generous single serving, but you can comfortably double it for two.

Directions: 

  1. Place ice cream mixture inside of a Stasher bag —we recommend a sandwich size.
  2. Seal firmly (try to squeeze out excess air).
  3. Nest it inside a Half Gallon Stasher.
  4. Add 3 cups of crushed ice and 1/3 cup rock salt (normal table salt will work in a pinch!) to the Half Gallon Stasher bag.
  5. Shake, squish and flip the bag gently for 10 minutes, or until the ice cream mixture has hardened to your liking: subtract a few minutes for soft serve, add a few minutes for a harder texture. 
  6. Eat the ice cream right out of the bag, or transfer to a bowl or cone. Add additional toppings if desired.

You’ve just made your own ice cream in under 15 minutes!
