For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is almost here. Our new book is We Like Ice Cream. All the animals like to eat ice cream, but the octopus really LOVES ice cream. How many ice cream cones can an octopus eat at once? Download the book HERE. After you read the book, try making ice cream in a bag with this easy recipe.

Ingredients

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup half-and-half

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup ice cubes, or as needed

3 tablespoons ice cream rock salt

Directions

1. Combine milk, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla extract in a pint-size resealable plastic bag; seal tightly.

2. Put a scoop of ice, 3 tablespoons ice cream rock salt, and the bag containing the milk-cream mixture into a gallon-size resealable plastic bag; seal tightly.

3. Rock the bag back and forth (do not shake) until contents thicken into ice cream, about 10 minutes. Wipe salt from the top of the pint-size bag before opening to prevent salt from getting into the ice cream.
