Easy Snow Ice Cream is a fun childhood treat that many of us remember fondly. Recipes can vary by region, but this is a classic method. A few ingredients you probably have on hand are combined with fresh, ice-cold snow to make a little winter magic.
It rarely snows here in South Carolina, but when it does, everyone rushes to make their favorite snow ice cream. You want to look for fresh, clean snow from an elevated surface.

Storage Tips and More
- Do not store. Snow Cream is best if eaten immediately.
- Everyone prefers a different consistency with this classic dessert. Add less or more snow, based on your preferences.
- If you don’t have snow, use shaved ice.
- Any milk you prefer is just fine. Whole milk tends to have the best flavor, in my opinion.
- Any ice cream toppings are great! Have fun with it!
- Depending on the type of snow you get, you may have to use more or less snow. The light, fluffy snow sometimes takes a little more snow, but the thick, heavy snow might need less. This largely depends on your preferences.
