Ice cream on an ice sheet may seem like a readily available luxury. After all, there is no shortage of freezer space! However, there we have no access to ice cream unless we make it. To solve the ice cream shortage, my friend John and I whipped up some using an ice cream ball (see pictures below).
Here is our recipe (remember, we can't just run down the street to the store):
1 cup powdered milk
2 cups water
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup coffee
Lots of love!
We mixed all of the ingredients together and then placed them in the ice cream ball, which was packed with snow. We then rolled, kicked, and bowled the ball around camp for about an hour. After it sat for an hour longer, we were able to indulge in a sweet, somewhat tasty treat. I think we need to modify our recipe. However, I can't be too picky since it is the only ice cream for hundreds of miles! The best part about the ice cream ball is that you have to exercise to make the ice cream. After all that running around, you can really indulge in the tasty treat.
