  • Place four tablespoons of salt and mix it with the ice in the gallon sized bag. Put the salt with the ice NOT in the cream mixture. I apologize to all the people who didn’t need that spelled out.

  • Open the baggie and – et voilà! We have ice cream. Really delicious ice cream.
  • You can eat your miraculous ice cream right out of the baggie, or get fancy and place it in a pretty dish.
    Add toppings as desired. I like a little chocolate syrup and almonds.  But strawberries are nice, too. In Joy!
