This is basically the same as our snow ice cream recipe. Simply fantastic! Kids (and grown ups) LOVE it! What a treat!!!

I have made this for as long as I remember, when I lived back in PA! I since have moved to AZ, with no snow. This is the ONE thing I miss about snow, but that is about it. My kids still live back east with the snowy winters, and I taught them how to make it, and they have for my grandkids now. I didn't use heavy cream, just milk. I also would add cocoa to make chocolate snow cream. You can also add some of your favorite jello to it to make flavored snow cream. Just don't use the whole pack. One more point---don't use the first snow, always wait until the second snow. Don't use yellow or brown or speckled snow either. This was my Grandma's rule when making snow cream!!!
