How to cook deliciously - Ice Cream in a Bag

1. Stage

Combine the milk, sugar, evaporated milk and vanilla extract in a small resealable bag. Press out all the air and seal the bag.

2. Stage

In a large resealable bag, combine the ice and salt. Place the sealed small bag inside the large bag. Seal the large bag, then place the large bag inside a second large resealable plastic bag. Seal that one, too. The doubled-up large bags help guard against leaks.

3. Stage

Shake and knead everything until the cream mixture is thickened, five to seven minutes. If you’re making the ice cream with someone else, take turns shaking. Editor’s Tip: You’ll want to wear mittens or oven mitts—or wrap the bag in a dish towel—because the ice water gets really cold. Periodically feel the ice cream bag to see if it’s firming up. It’s also helpful to set a timer so you know exactly when the seven minutes of shaking is up.

4. Stage

Remove the ice cream bag and dry it off quickly to avoid any saltwater drips. Use a spoon to scoop the ice cream into bowls immediately, or freeze the ice cream for later.
