FAQs

1. Can I use any type of snow?

Always use fresh, clean snow from a safe area. Avoid snow that’s too icy or slushy, as it won’t create the right texture.

2. Can I substitute the sweetened condensed milk?

Yes! If you prefer, you can use a mixture of whole milk and sugar, but for the creamiest results, the classic snow ice cream recipe condensed milk combination is the best choice.

3. What are some other snow day snacks I can make?

If you're looking for more snow day snacks, try making homemade hot chocolate, s’mores in the oven, or warm cinnamon toast!
