Snow Ice Cream has been all over the blogosphere this winter, but I wanted to change it up a bit and make toasted coconut snow ice cream! YUM! The perfect treat on a snowy afternoon!
The recipe is simpler than you would imagine. Enjoy!
Toasted Snow Ice Cream
- 1 can coconut milk
- ¼ cup agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 cups of clean snow*
- ¼ cup sweetened coconut flakes
Spread the coconut flakes on a cookie sheet and toast in the oven at 350℉ for 5-10 minutes. Check on these frequently so they don't burn!
 |
In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut milk, agave, vanilla, and salt. Set this bowl in the freezer to chill.
Go outside and collect your snow! Make sure it's clean!
 |
Take the liquid ingredients out of the freezer and spoon in the snow a cup at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
Scoop snow mixture into bowls and top with toasted coconut (or sprinkles... or both!).
* Eat snow at your own risk. If you're concerned about the quality of your snow, try shaved ice instead.
