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.
How to Make Ice Cream in a Stasher Bag
Ingredients:
- ½ cup half and half
- 1 Tb sugar
Add ins for flavor:
- Vanilla: ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Strawberry: ¼ cup chopped strawberries, ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate: 2 tsp cocoa powder, ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Mint chocolate chip: 1/8 cup mini chocolate chips and a few drops of peppermint extract
Experiment with your own combinations: crushed cookies or candy, flavorings, and fruits!
Directions:
- Place ice cream mixture inside of a Stasher bag —we recommend a sandwich size.
- Seal firmly (try to squeeze out excess air).
- Nest it inside a Half Gallon Stasher.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
