Saratoga Springs Ice Cream

Back in August 2010, my family spent about ten days staying at the Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa at Disney World Florida.  Amongst a busy schedule of activities for teenagers during the evening and plenty of things for kids as well (including watching Disney films by the hotel's swimming pool), I found an event for making ice cream.  On the day, Mum and I had been shopping in the Downtown Disney shopping district, so we had to rush to get a bus back to the hotel to make this soft, creamy ice cream, which we then ate back in our hotel room.

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons vanilla essence or 1 packet of hot chocolate mix

Instructions

1. Place the ingredients into a pint-size zip-lock bag.  Make sure the bag is tightly sealed.
2. Cover the bottom of a large plastic bag with ice.
3. Add about a cup of salt (more needed if there are more ice cream bags).
4. Place zip-lock bag of ice cream mix on top of the ice and salt.
5. Shake large plastic bag for about 5-10 minutes or until ice cream is firm.
