A blanket of fresh snow offers countless possibilities and can also be made into a delicious snow treat for the day.

Tennesseans across the state will enjoy inches of new snow on Friday, January 10th, and what better way to celebrate a fresh snowfall in the new year than with a classic Southern snow cream? The creamy faux ice cream mix is ​​the true definition of a rare treat, considering how rare it is in the South to get enough snow to actually make it without the risk of some grass or other things being mixed in.

All you need is a little snow, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and a few sprinkles to add some fun color to the winter treat.

Here’s how to do it.

Snow cream recipe

• 8 cups of snow (the fun is collecting it!)

• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Place snow or shaved ice in a large bowl. Pour condensed milk over it and add vanilla. Mix to combine. Serve immediately in bowls.

No sweetened milk? Try this adult version that uses bourbon and 2% milk. Finally a way to get rid of all that milk you bought yesterday.
