Easy Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag
What’s a July 4th celebration without homemade ice cream? One of these days, I’ll get my hands on a crank ice cream maker like the one we used when I was a kid. But for now, this homemade ice cream in a bag recipe looks fast, easy, and fun for the kids. All you need is some plastic bags, kosher salt, half and half, vanilla extract, sugar, and some little hands to shake the ingredients around in the bags.
Have a wonderful 4th of July! I’ll be back with more fun finds next week.
