Last week Alyssa's class at school made ice cream in a bag. It was a lot of fun and a huge success!
Here's the recipe:
1 cup milk (they used 1%, but I would probably use whole milk so it's a little bit creamier)
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Pour those items into a quart size ziplock bag. Seal the bag, and get most of the air out.
Place the quart size bag into a gallon size ziplock bag. Add about 4 cups of ice, and 6 tablespoons of salt (they used the icecream maker rock salt, but I've seen recipe's that just call for salt... )to the gallon size bag. Seal it removing most of the air.
Put on some gloves, and gently squeeze the quart size bag inside of the gallon bag... you can hold it on the corners and shake it back and forth, lay it on a counter and squish back and forth with your fingers across the bags... have another gallon size bag available in case your outer bag starts to leak.
As you move it around you'll see the ice crystals start to form, and it will become harder and harder. When it's at the consistency you want, pull the bag out of the larger bag and scoop it up. You could also cut the corner off of the quart size bag and squeeze it out. It will be a soft serve consistency.
I've also seen the same recipe with a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a little more sugar to make chocolate ice cream. Other ones had mix in's tossed in... a handful of chocolate chips or butterscotch chips.
