Edible snow cones are simple, easy, and surprisingly delicious!
Make a bunch, and you can leave “leftovers” in the freezer. Just be sure to pick an area with clean snow!
Like a snow sundae, you can make it plain or add chocolate syrup, sprinkles, fruit, and nuts…mmmm.
We want to try it using coconut milk (thick, creamy kind) as a non-dairy option. If you try this before we do, we would love to hear how it turned out.
Supplies
- Container for collecting snow
- About 8-10 cups of clean snow (powdery works best)
- Bowl for mixing
- Condensed milk (a small or medium can)
- Vanilla (about a teaspoon)
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
- Sprinkles, fruit, or nuts (optional)
- Space in the freezer for leftovers and a freezable container
Directions For Making Edible Snow Cones
Gather snow, about 8-10 cups, into a large container or bowl (the easiest is to scrape off the top layer of powdery snow)
Scoop some snow into a bowl, and sprinkle vanilla over the snow (about 1 tsp)
Pour condensed milk over the snow, depending on how much snow you collect. Start in 1/4-1/2 cup increments (or more if you prefer creamier)
Mix it all together (we used a fork)
Add more snow for the desired consistency.
Scoop it out into individual bowls, put the rest of the mixture in a freezable container, and freeze for later.
Serve as is, or sprinkle with nuts, fruit, or top with chocolate sauce (or whatever other toppings you love)
