I grew up with snow ice cream, also without egg
(although I have been known to down a few raw eggs
in eggnog at Christmas) and with a touch of salt. The
salt is important to balance the flavor. I make it every
year but don't really have proportions. If I had to
guess, for two people, I would start with 6 cups of
fluffy snow in a bowl. In another bowl I would mix one
cup of whole milk with 1/3 cup of sugar and 3/4 tsp
vanilla and a dash of salt. Try to get the sugar to
dissolve. I drizzle this into the center of the snow,
stirring as a drizzle. It packs down. When made this
way if there is too much snow you can leave it in the
outside edges of the original bowl and just serve that
with an ice cream texture.
This year for the first time a friend added the
"walnuts in syrup" ice cream topping and it was great.
So the next time I made it I also added maraschino
cherries and this too was wonderful.
