Chocolate Ice Cream in a Bag

My Baby Girl came home from school today, grabbed two ziploc bags out of the cabinet and asked, "May I make Chocolate Ice Cream?" While at school today she had logged into Success Maker and read a science article about how liquid can take different forms depending on it's temperature. At the end of the article there was a recipe on how to turn Chocolate Milk into Ice Cream by using Ziploc bags. She was bound and determined to make ice cream but could not remember the details of the recipe. With the help of her big brother, we embarked on a mission to concoct a tasty treat!


Chocolate Ice Cream in a Bag
Servings: 1

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Chocolate flavored NesQuick powder
1 Cup Whole Milk
1/2 cup Rock Salt (Kosher Salt works great too!)
Ice Cubes, enough to fill a gallon-sized bag about half full
1 pint-size Ziploc freezer bag
1 gallon-size Ziploc freezer bag

Directions:
1.  Combine NesQuick and milk in the pint-sized bag and seal it. Shake it up until the chocolate powder is well mixed.
2.  Place the salt, ice cubes and then the sealed pint-sized bag inside the gallon-sized bag. Seal the gallon-sized bag tightly.
3.  Shake the bags up, down and all around for about 5-minutes or until the chocolate milk hardens. 
4.  When ice cream feels hard, take the small bag out of the big bag and eat your ice cream right out of your bag! (Dispose of the ice and gallon-sized bag)
