Snow Ice Cream

We have a custom in our family beginning with the first moment we see snow start to fall.  We run to the kitchen to find our "special snow bowls" and set them out on our patio table for collection.  This collected snow becomes our key ingredient for our snow ice cream. 

Here's the way we prepare our special treat.  It's the same recipe my mom made rare and special Mississippi snow with while I was growing up.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your recipe after ours was a flop. I'll have to tuck it away for the one time it snows here in 2011. :)
