    Maple Syrup Snow Ice Cream Like Laura Ingalls Ate In 'Little House'. A big snowy-cold bowl of maple syrup ice cream.

    If you’ve never made snow ice cream, you’re in for a treat!

    And, btw, this can be made dairy-free, gluten-free and white (refined) sugar-free

    “Grandma…poured hot syrup on each plate of snow. It cooled into soft candy, and as fast as it cooled they ate it. They could eat all they wanted, for maple sugar never hurt anybody!” ~Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House in the Big Woods

    Photo from my book: Laura Ingalls Wilder's family

    It seems as long as I can remember, I have owned the entire boxed set of the Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books best known as Little House on the Prairie. Reading these may have been where my affection for all things having to do with ‘going back to the simpler ways’ began.

    After reading the series aloud several times, how could we forget reading a portion that talked about making candy with the fresh fallen snow.

    With all of the winter snow storms we’ve had and fresh snow on the ground, making Maple Syrup Snow Ice Cream will bring giggles in your children and smiles to your faces! To think that snow can make a wonderful ice cream!

    What You Need For Snow Ice Cream

    • a big pan of clean snow and a ladle
    • serving bowls
    • spoons
    • hungry mouths

    Ingredients

    For each serving of snow, add:

    • 1/2 cup of cream (OR coconut milk, almond milk, cashew milk, etc.) (PS: I found Coco Vita coconut milk at Fresh Thyme and love it – good ingredients!)
    • 1-2 TBSP of maple syrup (or sugar) to taste
    • 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract
    • a pinch of pink sea salt

    Directions

    In one large mixing bowl, add snow enough for several people at a time – OR – fill individual cereal size bowls with ice cream and let everyone add and mix in their own ingredients. Either way this is so much fun!

    I didn’t think of it before, but my big enamel soup ladle makes almost perfect snowballs!

    Start by adding the cream…

    A pan full of fresh fallen snow

    …then a pinch of salt, the maple syrup…

    …and the Madagascar (bourbon) vanilla extract  (I make my own).

    Stir all the ingredients together until…Voilá!

    What do you know…there’s Maple Syrup Snow Ice Cream in your bowl!

    Adding the other ingredients for ice cream

    Eat it right up, for ‘maple sugar never hurt anybody’!

    Warning: Contents in the bowl may be/will be extremely cold.

    Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

    Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
    Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.

      Unfortunately, with all the geoengineering spraying of our skies almost daily, the snow we get now is not nearly as pristine, even if it looks clean, as it was in Laura’s day.

      […] When I was young, we would wait for the very first snowfall and as soon as there was a good pile of snow on the ground, we would go outside to collect some to make authentic snow cones. We weren’t fancy, so we would just pour a little fruit juice on top of scoops of freshly fallen snow, then devour it like it was the best treat in the world. Another option would be to make snow ice cream! […]
