Shinobi came back from his summer camp and was excited: they made the chocolate ice cream in a bag! So we had to reproduce his project at home. We modified his ingredients, since we don’t have any chocolate syrup at home. We made two bags: green tea ice cream and mint chocolate ice cream. Here are the recipes and what we did:
What you’ll need for green tea ice cream:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup milk or half & half
- 1 teaspoon vita life green tea powder
- 6 tablespoons rock salt (your table salt will work too)
- 1 Ziploc plastic sandwich bag
- 1 gallon-size ziploc plastic food storage bag
- Ice cubes
What you’ll need for mint chocolate ice cream:
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup milk or half & half
- 1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s mint chocolate powder (you may substitute it with chocolate syrups)
- 6 tablespoons rock salt (your table salt will work too)
- 1 Ziploc plastic sandwich bag
- 1 gallon-size ziploc plastic food storage bag
- Ice cubes
How to make it:
- Put milk, green tea powder or mint chocolate powder (choice one) , and sugar into the small bag, and make sure to seal it. securely.
- Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the salt.
- Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal the large bag carefully.
- Shake the large bag until the mixture in the small bag become ice cream, which takes about 5 ~ 10 minutes.
- Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!
