Ice Cream in a Bag

During our last Mad Science class, the children made ice cream! It was an absolute blast, and definitely the highlight for many of the children.

The kids paired off to make their ice cream. They began by placing their milk, sugar, and vanilla into a quart sized plastic bag. Then, they added a second bag around it... just in case anything were to leak! Then, they had to add their ice and coarse salt into the larger, gallon bag. When that was complete, they placed their quart sized bags into the ice and sealed it up!

They had to shake, shake, shake for quite some time! The recipe called for five minutes, but we were shaking for at least ten. After the ten minutes, the children had some delicious ice cream to enjoy. They added fall sprinkles and chocolate sauce to their finished product.

 Some had more sprinkles than others, but everyone really enjoyed their treat!
