    Make Strawberry Snow Ice Cream from dehydrated strawberry powder for a super special treat on snow days!

    This is a fun project to do if you know there's snow coming and want to do something special with your kids!

    Dehydrated fruit powders are a wonderful way to kick up the flavor in yogurt, oatmeal, baked goods, cocktails, etc. And here is a special way to use them on a snow day!

    When you snow is coming, put out big bowls to collect snow after the first flakes have begun to fall.

    Strawberry Powder Snow Cream

    Ingredients

    Ingredients list for Strawberry Snow Cream: Snow, sugar, fruit powder and milk
    • 6-8 cups fresh snow*
    • 1 cup Milk (or do ½ C milk, ½ C Half and half, or 7 oz sweetened condensed milk)
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon Strawberry powder
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

    Directions:

    1. Mix strawberry powder into the milk before you get started. It does not dissolve (if you want something that dissolves a little better, though not fully, use freeze-dried strawberries and powder them)
    2. Scoop the snow into a mixing bowl.
    3. Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
    4. Stir until fully incorporated. You'll find that it gets crumbly at first, but keep mixing. As the snow begins to melt a little, it quickly incorporates together and becomes creamy. If you find it is too liquidy, add a little more snow.
    5. Freeze any excess. Allow to sit for a few moments and mix again to get the creamy texture you desire.

    Notes:

    If you don't have dehydrated strawberries, you can certainly use any freeze-dried fruit of your choice. It may dissolve a little more into the snow cream than dehydrated fruit powder does. You can get it as freeze-dried strawberries or even freeze-dried strawberry powder.

    *We generally let the snow fall for a good bit before we put out bowls out to collect. This way, the atmospheric nuisances have been cleared and the snow is cleaner.

    Equipment

    • Bowl
    • Spoon

    Ingredients

    • 6-8 cups fresh snow
    • 1 cup Whole Milk
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon Strawberry powder
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

    Instructions

    • Mix strawberry powder into the milk before you get started. It does not dissolve (if you want something that dissolves a little better, though not fully, use freeze-dried strawberries and powder them)
    • Scoop the snow into a mixing bowl.
    • Mix in the rest of the ingredients.
    • Stir until fully incorporated. You'll find that it gets crumbly at first, but keep mixing. As the snow begins to melt a little, it quickly incorporates together and becomes creamy. If you find it is too liquidy, add a little more snow.
    • Freeze any excess. Allow to sit for a few moments and mix again to get the creamy texture you desire.

    Notes

    Replacements for Milk:
    1 Cup Half and half (or do 50/50 with milk)
    7 oz Sweetened Condensed Milk (recipe can easily be doubled to use the whole can)
    I've never tried this with any soy or almond milk. Give it a try! They are a bit more watery than whole milk, so use a little less to keep the consistency creamy.
    Additional Flavors:
    Use ½ teaspoon vanilla
    Use any dehydrated fruit powder of your choosing
