How To Make Ice Cream in a Bag in 5 Minutes
kidsdomain.com — Here's a pretty damned simple ice-cream recipe: combine ingredients in a baggie. Fill a bigger baggie with ice, salt and the baggie of ingredients. Shake for five minutes. Ice cream. Who knew?

- EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -277/+17You mean, if I take milk or cream and put it safely next to salted ice, and mix the cream up so it doesn't freeze in clumps or crystalize, I get ICE CREAM?
Here's a similarly amazing recipe for a fruit-flavored icee. Put ice and fruit juice (better yet, frozen concentrate) in a blender and turn on the switch, blending until it looks like an icee.
Sip or pour, ensuring the liquid enters your body between your lips. If your brain gets cold, stop for a moment, and resume until the contents are completely gone. Then make more. Lather, rinse, repeat as needed.- MackDiesel2010, on 10/11/2007, -5/+81Stop bashing a recipe. It's not inventing ice cream, just giving the appropriate ratios of ingredients.
- Paii, on 10/11/2007, -6/+29I thought there was some egg involved as well? Is that not the case?
We did something similar in my 8th grade science class using two coffee cans, one slightly smaller than the other. The inner can contained the ingredients, and was tightly sealed using tape, while the outer can contain the salt and ice. Just roll back and forth, and you actually get some quality ice cream. The excuse for this exercise was 'investigating freezing points.' - akapsycho, on 10/11/2007, -36/+13you have forgotten the lessons of 9/11
- Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -6/+74@paii...
Ice cream with egg is a frozen custard.
There are two types of ice cream. One contains cream, sugar, and flavorings. That's called Philadelphia style. The other has eggs (which need to be tempered), cream, sugar, flavorings. That's New York style. If you've ever bought a vanilla ice cream that had a slightly yellow tinge to it, most likely it was New York style. - poopyfinger, on 10/11/2007, -24/+0How to get a story on the frontpage:
Make sure its from LifeHacker. - joefreeza, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13I just tried it and it actually tastes pretty good. It was kind of bland so I recommend using more sugar and a tiny bit more vanilla.
- Rooster99, on 10/11/2007, -2/+20I saw on tv once, a guy who mixed up the ingredients and then used liquid nitrogen (or some other really cold substance) to pretty much instantly freeze the ice cream. The results were little ice cream pellets that apparently taste really really good! Cause I live in Australia, we dont have it, but apparently this guy has shops all over the USA selling this stuff. Should give it a try!
- DeathfireD, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3ya its called space ice cream. That stuff is supper good but costs allot when you try and buy it from one of these stores that sell it. Although some Jordan's furniture outlets give it out for free when your looking for new beds and stuff.
- jackcall, on 10/11/2007, -9/+1@Deathfire
So it will be cheaper to buy from a store that doesn't sell it? A store that doesn't sell it will give me a "supper" good price? - staffell, on 10/11/2007, -5/+37*shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, * ....4 minutes 55 seconds later.....* shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake*
WELL THAT WAS WORTH IT! - funkydopeloven, on 10/11/2007, -4/+17@rooster http://www.dippindots.com/
- DeathfireD, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Dippin' Dots (aka Space Ice Cream) is expensive no matter where you buy it. As you can see, on their site, it's $125.00 for 30 Servings Prepackaged. The other downside is if you buy that much of it, the only way to store it is with dry ice or a meat locker. You wont find it sold in your local super markets.
- PoodleMomma, on 10/11/2007, -9/+1You obviously do not have kids. Idiot!
- Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6@staffell
Shake that booty! - EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -23/+4I am in shock that any person in the developed world could make it to adulthood and not know that ice cream is made from frozen milk and sugar. Don't know the ratio? Put in some friggin sugar and taste it! It's not like it's going to explode if you use too much or too little. Too sweet? Add more milk to dilute it.
This is stuff they teach in grade school, as well as the simple experiment that if you salt ice, it melts (absorbs heat) faster. I'm just astounded that at least 100 people commenting don't know this and thought it rude of me to make fun of that fact.
That is just sad. This is as bad as those commercials that give you "fun snack ideas," like cutting cheese into circles that fit neatly on a Ritz cracker. If you're not smart enough to come up with that one on your own, you should not be reproducing. I'm not a believer in Eugenics, but I'm starting to think a reproduction license is not such a bad idea.
Maybe I'm just pissed because I watched "Idocracy" last night. But this is a sign, people. This is a sign. Next thing you know, you'll be excited to learn that water, not gatoraide, makes plants grow. - gldfshnpcklejar, on 10/11/2007, -13/+1I put all of these in a bowl but it's not working:
What You Need
* 1 tablespoon Sugar
* 1/2 cup Milk or half & half
* 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
* 6 tablespoons Rock salt
* 1 pint-size Ziploc plastic bag
* 1 gallon-size Ziploc plastic bag
* Ice cubes - rhabd0mancer, on 10/11/2007, -7/+15@staffell
Hire an illegal mexican to do the shaking for you. - jozb, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2@gldfshnpcklejar
maybe a visit to one of these places http://218.154.3.99/view/index.shtml - logicon, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6@EntropyMan
Quit being a troll. Most people are aware of what ice cream is composed of, this article is really more about the process of making it and there's nothing intuitive about the idea that you can make good quality ice cream by just throwing some ingredients in a bag and shaking it.
And they might teach this process in grade school, but that doesn't mean everyone should know it. They also teach the names of all the US Presidents in grade school; could you recite them for us? Probably not. There's a difference between being intelligent and knowing lots of relatively useless trivia. I don't need to know how to make ice cream because I can just go buy some, but I find the article interesting none the less. No need to be an arrogant prick. - pagit, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2***** A !
Great idea with the kids this summer - or with the boys at the job site
Make yourself look like a hero ! - EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5Is it just me, or did Digg just force the profanity filter on for everyone? I was about to jokingly tell logicon to ***** ***** ***** ***** and all I get is stars... even for a word like p-issed...
Anyway, relax, buddy. Negative 145 diggs for a joke about the inanity of a recipe is excessive enough. Don't go making this personal. I do stupid s-hit all the time. But not quite as bad as being surprised about ice cream... - EruLabs, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1@akapsycho: funniest digg comment IN THE HISTORY OF TIME!
Hahahhahahaha x7 - EruLabs, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3@EntropyMan:
Part of me agrees with you, and don't get me wrong, I read your post, i'm not a bleeding-heart kinda person, ie: I can read your post without too much bias.
However, it is so insanely ethnocentric to suggest that if you didn't go to an elementary school where any teacher gave two ***** enough to do something fun with their kids you are "sad". Not to sound like a whiner, but in my own experience, I didn't stay in one elementary school for more than 8 months. I knew that ice cream was made from milk and cream, and that you can make it with a barrel of ice/rock salt and a small bucket of cream and milk with sugar and vanilla. I never had someone make ice cream with me however, so I didn't actually ever think of making it in a set of bags so that a small kid could do it. Thats a novel idea actually.
So piss off, you're being mean. Yeah. I said it. Mean. - EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3@Erulabs, damn right, I'm being mean, just as a good friend of mine who teaches in NYC was being equally mean when she failed half her English class due to genuinely lousy test results. And she refused to give them all extra points when the students, parents, and even the principal tried to have her fired over it.
Now they love her, btw. She's a damn good teacher because she doesn't accept excuses or pleas for special entitlements. Just wait till these kids try pulling that crap with their employer. Someone doesn't know something they should, own up to it, and go learn it for next time. It's as simple as that.
As for me, I make fun of what I find stupid. That's how I deal with it. Go ahead and digg me down if you want. I don't expect people who went to school recently to understand. But things have really changed, even from 20 years ago. - exoendo, on 10/11/2007, -14/+3@logicon (#7099005)

yeah, im that awesome - themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2I did this in biology class
- mV0G7, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I did this in my 10th grade chemistry class and it tasted like ***** saltwater
- badken, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@mV0G7
You're supposed to eat the white stuff, not the clear stuff.
- hyper22, on 10/11/2007, -3/+47I knew. My class did it in the 6th grade. Surprised it isn't more well known.
- dohidied, on 10/11/2007, -3/+69I guess it's kind of sad that we did it in my Honors Chemistry class in 11th grade.
- TubbyCat, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2I did it in 6th grade a lot too, I'm also surprised taht not many people know.
- 1800collect, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Most How To's are actually quite interesting. This is a simple recipe. Has grade school teachers and house wives taken over Digg?
- EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Maybe it's a weekend thing. People seem a bit more touchy as well. I guess the lesson is: don't mess with people's ice cream... Maybe I should post a recipe for making popcorn on the stove...
- EruLabs, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Good god! Where the hell is the digg community from? Do I really have a different picture of childhood in America, or are all of you middle-upper classmen who have lived in the same house in the same town all their lives because the schools were good, and your parents could afford it?
Oh dammit. I think I was a poor kid ;-D
edit: oh yeah, i didnt mean that teaching how to make ice cream in a bag = good schools. I was saying that you went to a school where you had teachers who would think of doing something FUN or slightly creative at all. edit again: cooking IS creative - ridley521, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Yeah, I did it freshmen year science in high school. Mine turned out like melted milkshake, but it was still pretty sweet.
- EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1@Erulabs, I went to public schools in NYC and then the burbs, and not particularly good or well-off schools at that.
I think the difference is that I'm probably 15-20 years older than the average digger. It IS sad to me that schools have apparently changed so much that people don't know basic concepts, and I'm not just talking about tasty treats. It's not ethnocentric. It's temporal.
I have a good friend who teaches in NY and she bitches about this all the time.
- frozenyoghurt, on 10/11/2007, -10/+4Well Holy God Dang Shiat
- varunb007, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Yeah, we did this in high school chemistry as sort of a fun experiment. It's pretty cool except you have to buy all that stuff and spend time making it when you could have just bought 10x better ice cream for less money than the ingredients bought separately.
- Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10The cheaper you pay for the ice cream, the lower quality the ingredients are, and the more air you have mixed in. Do yourself a favor...weigh a half gallon of the good stuff next to a half gallon of the cheap stuff. You'll notice that the more expensive one weighs more. Know why? Less air.
Also, nowadays the good stuff doesn't come in half gallons. It comes slightly less, so that it is close to the same price of the lesser brands.
So, in essence, making Ice Cream at home results in a higher quality, and all around better product. - patkirkrick, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5But were you trying to make tasty ice cream or learn firsthand how it's made? The two aren't necessarily congruent. Also if you do homemade ice cream with crank, the real deal, it's damn better than most store-bought, what kronos said.
- foufga, on 10/11/2007, -4/+6I'm well into my second week in Europe, and I have to say their gelato is by far the best 'version' of ice cream I've had.
- jackcall, on 10/11/2007, -6/+9@foufga
Being European, and therefor owning allot of the stuff apparently, I've got to ask, what is gelato? sounds Italian...
Seriously, stop referring to Europe as a country, we're not. Just because you've been in France or Italy for a week or so... It would be like me going to the states and proclaiming that their cheesesteak is the best version of steak I've had, assuming that because people in Philadelphia eats it, it must be a generally American thing. - jackcall, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Yeah I know, maybe I was a little hasty with that example, but the point is still valid.
You can't culturally group several hundred million people together and assume that they are all the same...I'm really offended being called Italian, German or French, not that I hate Italian or French culture, but it shows an indifference to my own cultural heritage. I'm not saying that foufga should understand all the different cultures in Europe, 'cause nobody can ever achieve that, before making a statement about ice cream, but he should just not assume that gelato is a European thing when he's only seen Italy. - Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3@jackall...
Gelato IS Italian. It's more milk based than cream based, and has less air (overrun) mixed into it. That's the only difference. - jackcall, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2@kronos
Care to read what I wrote again? Then maybe you'll see that you're arguing my point.. Gelato is Italian NOT European - foofightrs777, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Yes gelato is Italian and it couldn't be more delicious. It puts traditional ice cream to shame.
Also, the glace in France is pretty close to Italian style gelato and nearly as good.
Oh, and calling a cheese steak the best version of steak is nothing short of a sin. Any decent cut of meat would be better. (Not that I don't eat a cheesesteak now and again)
- Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10The cheaper you pay for the ice cream, the lower quality the ingredients are, and the more air you have mixed in. Do yourself a favor...weigh a half gallon of the good stuff next to a half gallon of the cheap stuff. You'll notice that the more expensive one weighs more. Know why? Less air.
- Kronos6948, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4It's not quite as good if you bring the cream/sugar/vanilla bean mixture to a simmer first, and then chill overnight. Aging the mixture for some reason makes it taste better. But then again, I'd prefer to make ice cream the old fashioned way...with a machine. I would have a hand crank one, but I got the next step up. One with a motor. It still uses ice/salt.
The main thing to remember is that for good ice cream, you have to work enough air into it so that the ice cream isn't a block of ice floating in a syrupy goo. - xrisnothing, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1Ummm.... no. This is not going to be smooth. Also, you have to put ice cream in the freezer if you don't want it to be soft serve. Buy an ice cream maker, even a cheap one if you want to actually make ice cream.
- patkirkrick, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2I actually gave this a try earlier today when the recipe appeared on BoingBoing. The problem I had was (a) the ziploc bags are not built for much shaking and develop tiny leaks at the corners, and (b) even with a half-full gallon bag of ice and the 6 tbsp of salt, I mixed and mixed and wasn't able to get the cream cold enough. After 10 minutes it was still like a runny milk shake, so I decided to just chuck the thing in the chest freezer to finish it off.
- Jesse, on 10/11/2007, -8/+3The article description is the exact same description Cory Doctorow had for the same link on BoingBoing. In my book, plagiarists get everything they submit dugg down, MrBabyBoy.

- trogdoor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+31Use Liquid Nitrogen in place of ice to shorten from 5 minutes to 5 seconds.

It didn't taste horrible, but the consistency of the solution was still a little bit off of what conventional ice cream would be.

If you try it with your favorite flavor of koolaid then you get a pretty damn good slushy. It is also good in an Ice cream maker. - bookkitten, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0"who knew?"
Anyone that has ever taken a chem class. - pnutandsamsmom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Ask anyone who is in Cub Scouts, and they will probably know about this. My boys made this a few months ago. It's the novelty in making your own ice cream that they like, they aren't food critics or anything.

- 360modena, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You can also make butter by just shaking a jar of heavy cream, maybe some salt added if that's your thing. Its pretty interesting because for awhile it looks like nothing is happening, and then all of the sudden it just *condenses* and you have butter.
