Learn how to easily make creamy ice cream in a bag in minutes! Such a fun activity for kids!<\/p>\n The process is similar to that of a churning ice cream maker, where the rock salt helps the ice get cold enough to quickly freeze the cream. When you manually shake up the bag yourself for a few minutes, it starts to get frozen!<\/p>\n The result is a delicious serving of individual ice cream that is perfectly creamy and frozen. It\u2019s also fun to make and something the entire family can enjoy doing together! Plus, if everyone in your family likes a different flavor they can customize their serving however they like!<\/p>\n yield: 1 SERVINGS<\/span><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\tprep time: 5 MINUTES<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\tcook time: 10 MINUTES<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\ttotal time: 15 MINUTES<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Make this delicious and easy to create ice cream in a bag!
