Ice Cream Party and a free Mega Play and Freeze Ice Cream Ball giveaway!
It is still hot here and we are still making any possible attempt to stay cool! We had some friends over today and made ice cream in bags and a can.
How to make Ice Cream In a Bag
For each individual you will need:
1/2 cup milk or half and half (I have seen where you can even use flavored coffee creamer)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
ice
1/4 cup rock salt
2 quart sized Freezer Zip-loc bags (could use smaller bags)
1 gallon Freezer size Zip-loc bag
a hand towel or winter gloves to keep little fingers from freezing
Mix the milk, sugar and vanilla together in one of the quart sized bags. Seal, removing as much air from the bag as possible. Place this bag inside the other quart sized bag, remove air and seal (double bagging to prevent leaking and insuring success). Put the two bags inside the gallon sized bag along with the ice (we filled the bag with ice) and then about 1/4 cup rock salt. Remove air and seal tightly. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake, shake, shake.
It was near 100 degrees today so it took about 15 minutes to freeze. I would think if it had been cooler it would have frozen quicker. Since it took longer we had a bit of trouble keeping the kids interested ——so the moms were left holding the bag!
Rinse the small bag before eating or be careful when removing from the outside bag to keep it salt free. We added toppings (chocolate syrup, M&Ms, broken oreos, pretzels and peanut butter cups) right into the bag and began eating! Yum —-We had plenty of participation for this!
How to Make Ice Cream in a Coffee Can
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 tbs chocolate syrup
Ice
About 1/2 cup Rock Salt
Place the ice cream mixture in the smaller coffee can and seal lid with duct tape. Place the smaller can in the center of the larger can. Pour the ice and salt around the smaller can.
Put the lid on the larger can and place a piece of duct tape around the lid to make sure it is really secure. Roll the can around outside for about 30 minutes.
Again it was so hot that we had to refill the ice and salt in the can about half way through! Our kids weren’t too crazy, so we did just fine leaving the duct tape off after we refilled the ice. Rinse smaller can before serving.
Everyone agreed the chocolate ice cream was our favorite.
Now if you want to really have a ball at your party you need the Mega Play and Freeze Ice Cream Ball!
How fun is this? You can make ice cream anywhere, with the Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker! Add cream and sugar in one end, and ice and rock salt in the other, then “play ball”, roll and shake (maybe a fun game of “hot potato”) with the ball. Thirty minutes later you will have delicious homemade ice cream. This cool high tech ball makes 1 quart of ice cream.
After making our ice cream today I can say this ball would be great. Even using freezer (Name Brand) bags we had some trouble with gallon bags leaking and leaving salt water everywhere. Also the kids had the most fun kicking the can around. Having a ball to play with would be perfect.
One lucky reader will have the chance to be the proud owner. Leave a comment by midnight on Sunday, August 3rd for a chance to win! (Only U.S. Shipping for this giveaway –sorry!)
This would be great for my kids and their cousins who are coming to visit soon.

Homemade ice cream is the best! (This reminds me, though, that there is some of the store-bought kind in the freezer, and it would hit the spot. I’d rather have homemade, though.)

Looks like fun! And tasty too. I never knew you could make ice cream without a freezer.
01 Aug 2008 at 1:13 am
I’d love one of these, as I don’t have an ice cream maker and don’t know if I’d ever invest in one (I have limited space in my kitchen). Thanks so much for the DIY tutorials…I’m bookmarking you!
01 Aug 2008 at 1:17 am
Oh man- I found a coffee can (we don’t drink coffee) and thought I could put the zip lock bag in the can—but now that I see how you did it that makes me think the bag might not work!! bummer…guess I’ll have to wait for another can…..or maybe I might win this really cool ball!!! too fun…
01 Aug 2008 at 1:20 am
looks like fun!!
count me in 
01 Aug 2008 at 1:22 am
My kids would have a blast with this. I’ve tried the baggie method and ended up with a big mess
01 Aug 2008 at 1:28 am
Yes, we’ve done the bag version and the coffee can version and I would LOVE to try the “ball” version too. Thanks for the contest!
01 Aug 2008 at 1:32 am

I love making ice cream in a baggie, but I used generic bags last time and forgot to tape the top and bottom up. A very disappointing salty, leaky mess! I think I’ll try the cans next time… or the ball would be great fun

I love homemade ice cream and strawberries!!
Thank you!
01 Aug 2008 at 3:03 am
You’re right - the bag way is certainly a lot of work (and rough on the hands)! We’ve had this ice cream ball on our wish list for a while!
Thanks!

Love your blog - am working on some of those felt donuts and will link your tutorial when I’m finally done (it might take a while!). Thank you for those great instructions!
01 Aug 2008 at 5:12 am
I have had fun with my daycare kids and my kids making icecream in a bag, they do tend to get bored with it after 5 minutes so I always get left (wait for it, wait for it) Holding the bag LOL, I crack myself up sometimes..

01 Aug 2008 at 5:08 pm
How much fun would this be?! I remember the old days of having to sit there and crank that stinkin’ ice-cream maker FOREVER just to get ice cream. It’s about time someone thought of a really cool, fun thing like this! Thanks for the chance to win it.
01 Aug 2008 at 5:15 pm
That is really, really cool! Nice giveaway!
01 Aug 2008 at 5:16 pm
I have always wanted to make ice cream, but with my lack of an ice cream maker, I have been hindered…..or so I thought. Thanks for this post!
01 Aug 2008 at 5:24 pm
this is so cool.
01 Aug 2008 at 5:31 pm
I have the fondest memories of making homemade icecream on the backporch in the summer. I would love to win this and start the tradition with my son.

ooh, oooh, pick me I want to try it!!! yumo, homemade ice cream
01 Aug 2008 at 6:27 pm
I read about the bag ice cream a few years ago and my sister and I did it a lot. It was fun and neat. Then once the inner baggy got a hole in it and I didn’t realize it. When I grabbed a spoon and took a rather large sample of our creation I gagged! It was sooooo salty! I’ll never forget that…. YUCK! The play ball looks like fun and would eliminate the broken bag problem. My daughter would probably have a ball making ice cream.
01 Aug 2008 at 6:33 pm
That would be so much fun and a great afternoon activity to do with the kids. Thanks so much!
01 Aug 2008 at 6:38 pm
I would LOVE this portable ice cream maker! So cute, and thanks for all the tips on how to make ice cream!
01 Aug 2008 at 6:41 pm
My son would feel like he was in heaven with this. He loves to roll balls around, and he really loves ice cream. And, I would love it too.
01 Aug 2008 at 6:49 pm

Although I’m in my 20s, my friends and I are 5 year old kids at heart and would love love love this easier version of coffee-can ice cream.
01 Aug 2008 at 7:03 pm
my daughter is dairy-free, and we don’t like rice or soy ice creams, so we make our own coconut milk ice cream, but we don’t have an ice-cream maker so it’s never really good. this would be great!
01 Aug 2008 at 7:07 pm
Kids would love it
01 Aug 2008 at 7:28 pm
Ooo I saw this on Amazon. It’s a top seller. I’d love one, which is why I’m entering, lol!
01 Aug 2008 at 7:31 pm

01 Aug 2008 at 8:13 pm
I went to a BBQ party the other day and the kids LOVED kicking this ice cream ball around on the grass. Would be so excited if I won this for our family! Thanks for the giveaway.
01 Aug 2008 at 8:17 pm
My husband loves ice cream and my little girl loves balls. This would be perfect and they’d both have fun.
01 Aug 2008 at 8:21 pm
It looks like you all had a lot of fun with the kids making all that ice cream. The ball looks like fun also. When I was little I remember all the kids taking turns cranking the old style ice cream machine. Seems like we all got bored with that before it was done ever and the grown-ups had to take over. The ball would be a lot more fun!
I’ve also linked back to you on my blog here:

Wow, Cindy! Your comments are off the chart! Congratulations. The bag and can method have long been favorite ways to cool off at girl scout camp. Do you know the recipe to make ice cream from pop/soda & Eagle Brand milk? It is really fun, it freezes fast and it doesn’t require cooking the mixture before you freeze it.
Hugs!

01 Aug 2008 at 8:41 pm
Oh my gosh! Roo and Jasper would LOVE this!!! And it would wear them out, so it could balance out the effects of feeding a 4 and 1 year old too much sugary ice cream… perfect.
01 Aug 2008 at 8:45 pm
I’m going to try your freezer bag idea — thanks for all you do.
01 Aug 2008 at 9:15 pm
Hi! I don’t care to win the ice cream ball since I’m hoping to buy an automatic maker soon, but I wanted to tell you that making ice cream in cans is an awesome revelation since I’m used to shaking things around in bags! Thanks for sharing the idea!
01 Aug 2008 at 9:17 pm
Sounds fun!!
01 Aug 2008 at 9:17 pm
What great fun! Thanks for the opportunity!
01 Aug 2008 at 9:29 pm
My kiddos would love this!
01 Aug 2008 at 9:46 pm
How awesome!!!
I would love to use that with my older kids (I run an afterschool program), have them play a little soccer like action and not tell them they’re making ice cream!
01 Aug 2008 at 9:52 pm
OOOH! Pick me me me me me. What a great idea!
01 Aug 2008 at 10:07 pm
This sounds like a lot of fun!
01 Aug 2008 at 10:08 pm

01 Aug 2008 at 10:12 pm
I’d love to win this - looks like a lot of fun!
01 Aug 2008 at 10:18 pm
I tried the ice cream in a bag with my kids. They got bored and my arms got really tired. The ice cream ball would be great.
01 Aug 2008 at 10:25 pm
How neat! I’ve never seen anything like this before.
01 Aug 2008 at 11:01 pm

What an awesome giveaway! Thanks for hosting this!
02 Aug 2008 at 1:24 am
This would definitely be useful in Texas. Temperature is set to be over 100 for the next couple of days.
We have a large ice cream maker, but it’s not quite the same.
02 Aug 2008 at 1:28 am
How fun, my daughter would love to play with this ball and then to get ice cream out of it too - best of both worlds!
