Can I use any kind of snow for this recipe?

Fresh, clean, powdery snow works best. Avoid dirty, compacted, or old snow. For the safest results, collect it after a recent snowfall and from an untouched surface.

Can I make snow cream without dairy?

Absolutely! Substitute whole milk with almond , coconut , or oat milk for a vegan version. For added creaminess, you can also try the method used in Southern Snow Cream , using dairy-free sweetened condensed milk.

How long can snow cream be stored?

While best served fresh, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before stirring and serving again to restore some of the texture.

Can I add other flavors or toppings?

Yes! Try adding a splash of peppermint extract, crushed cookies, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup like in this Old-Fashioned Snow Ice Cream for more flavor and fun.
