Homemade Ice Cream in a Bag

I found this fun Homemade Ice Cream recipe at FamilyFun.com. We made it with the girls up at girls camp and it was a big hit! One side note though, when mixing the ice cream you may want to wrap the bag in a towel; the girls' poor hands were pretty cold after this activity!

Ingredients:
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 cup half and half
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup salt (The bigger the granules, the better. Kosher or rock salt works best, but table salt is fine)
* Ice cubes (enough to fill each gallon-size bag about half full)
* 1 pint-size ziplock bag
* 1 gallon-size ziplock bag

Directions:
1. Combine the sugar, half and half, and vanilla extract in the pint-size bag and seal it tightly.

2. Place the salt and ice in the gallon-size bag, then place the sealed smaller bag inside as well. Seal the larger bag. Now shake the bags until the mixture hardens (about 5 minutes). Feel the small bag to determine when it's done (it should be the consistency of frozen yogurt).

3. Take the smaller bag out of the larger one, add mix-ins, and eat the ice cream right out of the bag. Easy cleanup too! Serves 1
