Easy Freezer Bag Ice Cream

I found this recipe in Family Fun magazine and we decided to try it last night. It was so yummy, so easy, and so fun to do as a family! With just a few ingredients, and less than 10 minutes, we homemade ice cream!

This is a bad cell phone picture, but Vinny was really enjoying it!
Directions: Combine 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 cup half and half and 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla in a small ziplock bag. Seal it really tightly. Put a 1/2 cup of rock salt (it says table salt works too, but we didn't try it) in a freezer ziploc bag and fill the bag 1/2 way with ice. Then put the little bag with the mixture inside seal it tightly and shake! You have to shake for like 5 minutes. You can feel the little bag and tell when the ice cream thickens. Then take the little bag back out and enjoy! I will tell you to have a towel ready because the condensation on the bag makes a mess when you are shaking, but other than that it was mess free and super easy.
If you try it, I would love to hear your comments and experience with it!
