Have Your Say . . . About Ice Cream In A Bag
Have You Tried To Make Ice Cream In a Bag?
Yes, I've Tried It . . .
N says:
I really enjoyed making this with my family. It was yummy and lots of fun. BUT... I think the recipe up further on page is incorrect. I think that it is supposed to be 2 tablespoons of sugar not 2 teaspoons. The video uses 2 tablespoons for 1 cup of sugar so I checked out 5 more sites for ice cream in a bag and they all say 2 tablespoons. The original recipe off workitmom.com was incorrect...I think. Any comments???
JulieL says:
The ice cream was really yummy soft serve, and the kids (ages 6 and 8) loved dancing around to music while shaking their bag. It only took 2 songs for the ice cream to be perfectly done!
jakelle says:
Too fun! Just tried it to see how it works! Totally awesome! We are for sure making it on the 4th this year. I'm thinkig about adding it to our Saturday in the park events! How fun would that be for the kids to end with a sweet treat they made themselves in just minutes! You have to try it!
