Method

  • step 1

    Place the milk, sugar and vanilla into the doubled-up medium zip-seal bags. Close and secure with sticky tape if the seal isn’t strong. Tip the ice and salt into the large bag, then place the smaller bags inside the larger one, and seal well.

  • step 2

    You will need to keep the bags moving for 10-15 mins to freeze the milk. Gently throw the bag from hand to hand or take turns shaking it – it’s a good idea to wear gloves to keep your hands warm! Remove the ice-cream bag, open and scoop into bowls. Sprinkle with hundreds & thousands.

RECIPE TIPS
THE SCIENCE BIT

Under normal circumstances, water freezes at 0C. But adding salt to the ice lowers the temperature to -10C, meaning the milk freezes in minutes.

question

Will this ice-cream recipe work if I use my own cashew milk in place of semi-skimmed milk?

Hi, thanks for your question. I'm afraid we haven't tried this so can't say for certain how it will turn out, however cashew milk can make delicious ice cream. If you do try it then please let us know how you get on. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

This is not ice cream.

And so much wasteful use of plastic bags!

Honestly you’re far better whipping up some double cream and condensed milk with whatever flavour or fruit you fancy. No churning required.

Zero point for BBC good good on this rubbish.

That’s not ice cream!

Isn’t it just easier to whip a pot of double cream and a tin of condensed milk for a base, which is gorgeous on it’s own, or add flavourings such as bashed up Crunchie bars, chopped ginger in syrup, or whatever you want?

I tried this out at school with my class of 4,5,6 year olds. We did it out in the playground so that it didn't matter about the mess and they worked in pairs, taking it in turn to shake the bag. Water does leak out of the bags and some of the bags didn't stand up to being thrown around so make sure…
