Home Made Ice Cream

Okay, so I was a little skeptical to try this treat, because I honestly didn't think it was going to work. It's home made ice cream that you shake in ziplock bags. But we were bored Sunday night so we gave it a try. Here is the recipe for those of you who want to try it.
Put in a sandwhich size ziplock bag for each person (we double bagged ours and I would highly recommend it):
1 cup half and half
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Put that bag in a large ziplock bag filled with (we also used double bags here):
3-4 cups of ice
1/4 cup salt
Shake and shake and shake for about 15 minutes.

And then you get this. Your own little bag of ice cream.

Here are a few tips. I would probably do this outside because the salt/ice bags had holes in them and it made a mess. Jeff got smart and shook/rolled his in the sink. And it would be really fun to do for a family night or at a big family party.

Yummy! ice cream is the best. I tried this a couple of years ago with my kids and it didn't turn out as good as yours looks. I just might have to try it again.
