Homemade ice cream is a fun activity for a backyard campout or any hot summer day. There’s no need for a fancy ice cream maker; two zip-top bags work like a charm.
Ice Cream in a Bag
Ingredients:
• 1 cup half-and-half

3. Put on mittens or gloves and shake bag vigorously for about 10 minutes, until ice cream has hardened.
4. Remove smaller bag from larger bag and wipe clean. Be sure to wipe the top part of the bag, above the seal. (The ice cream salt leaves a salty residue outside of the bag.)
5. Scoop ice cream from bag and serve with your favorite toppings.
