Plastic bag ice cream

 Plastic bag ice cream is a fun activity to do on a hot day. I loved doing this activity when I taught , I used to do it with my preschool  students as a science lesson. It is a great activity to do with your kids since they can mix it and then shake, shake and shake the bag. Payton had so much fun jumping and shaking she wanted to do it again tonight. So we made ice cream twice today, we used up all the ice in the freezer. So here is how  you make plastic bag ice cream.
Ingredients

• Ice Cream
• ¹⁄₂ cup half and half
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract

Supplies

• 2 one-quart sealable plastic freezer bags
• 1 one-gallon sealable plastic freezer bag
• 4 cups crushed ice
• ¹⁄₂ cup rock salt
• Gloves or a towel

Directions

1. Place half & half, sugar and vanilla in a one-quart plastic bag. Squeeze out excess air and seal tightly.

Shake vigorously to ensure sugar is completely dissolved. Double-bag the first bag with a second one.

2. Place these bags inside a gallon-size bag. Add crushed ice and rock salt to the outer gallon-size bag. Squeeze out excess air and seal tightly. Place the bag inside a towel or put on gloves. Shake and massage the bag to work the ice around the ice cream mixture. When mixture firms up (in about 5-10 minutes), remove the quart bag from salt and ice. Serve immediately or put in the freezer for a little while but not too long. Top with candy , chocolate sauce or however you like and enjoy!
