Our Home-Ed group activity this week was great fun – thanks to C for organising it. I had no idea that ice cream could be made in a bag!
Materials list, per person
- ½ cup of whole milk
- Ice cubes
- 6 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of caster sugar
- Small zip-seal bag
- Large zip-seal bag
- Flavourings such as vanilla essence, cocoa powder, peppermint essence (optional)
Ice cream in a bag
The milk, sugar and any desired flavourings are placed in the smaller of the two Zip-loc bags. The larger of the two Zip-loc bags should be roughly half-filled with ice and then the rock salt added. The smaller bag is placed inside the larger one, with both firmly sealed then the bag is smooshed, rolled, shaken and generally agitated for about 5-10 mins after which time, voilà – ice cream!
I made the vegan option of pineapple sorbet, which was just pineapple juice in the smaller bag and exactly the same process. Easy- peasy and very thirst quenching.

Come come – this won’t do… no updates since March? I was hoping for tips on how to grow bigger strawbs… eradicate caterpillars… build more things from Meccano.
Must. Try. Harder.
