Ingredients:

• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Ice
• ¼ cup salt
• 2 Ziploc bags: 1 small, 1 large

Instructions:

• Pour half-and-half, vanilla extract and sugar into the small bag.
• Seal it up tight and make sure to push all the extra air out.
• Fill the large bag with ¼ cup salt and ice until about ½ full.
• Place the small bag inside and continue to fill up the large bag with ice.
• Seal the large bag and shake. Shake the bag for six minutes – you may want to use kitchen mitts for this part. Brrr!

Now, remove the inside bag, rinse if needed and carefully open it. Give your ice cream a stir and add any fruit, chocolate or even sprinkles. Enjoy!
