Toss and Serve Ice Cream

My daughter watched a how to video on Nick Jr. on how to make Ice Cream in a bag. She has been dying to make it with her brother since. At first I told her she couldn't because she is allergic to milk but then I decided to improvise and came up with my own non dairy recipe.

We all put on gloves and then tossed our bags of ice cream, course salt, and ice until the ice cream looked like soft serve. It was a lot of fun tossing the bag but it was slippery so it was hard for my 2 yr old to catch. We switched it up a bit to help him out and put it in a large beach towel me on one side and the kids on the other and tossed it. That was easier for him and made everyone happy!

Here is the Nick Jr. how to link http://www.nickjr.com/food/seasonal_treats/ice_cream.jhtml their video link isn't working right now.... sorry.

If you are in the same boat as me I used a young coconut and blended the meat and coconut water in the blender. Then I sweetened it to taste with agave and added some real vanilla extract. My son wanted his strawberry so I added them to his. They both turned out tasting OK. The kids liked it and it was good for them too. That makes me happy!
