Things I've Tried from Pinterest: How to Make Homemade Ice Cream in a Baggie

This pin is a delicious and simple concept. Make a small amount ice cream in a plastic bag. No ice cream maker necessary. The recipe came from 2 Little Hooligans.I've tried it three or four times.

What I used:

• Everything the recipe called for.
• I made a cinnamon ice cream by adding cinnamon.
• Chocolate version by adding cocoa
• Coconut version by adding coconut extract.

What I like about it:

• No ice cream maker needed.
• I can make a single serving of ice cream, no need to feel like I'm overeating or having to freeze the rest.
• I know what's in it. Simple straightforward ingredients.
• It's totally customizable. I can try new flavors all the time.
• It was kind of fun to shake the bag up.
• It's yummy.

Concerns:

• Messy: One of my Ziplocks leaked getting salty water everywhere. Even when it wasn't leaking the condensation was everywhere.
• Melts very quickly.
• You can't make a large amount using this method.
• It's really cold shaking that bag!
• It uses a lot of salt.

I would definitely do this again, and I look forward to trying more flavors!
