Patrick Taylor: Southern Sideboards' version is what I grew up having (once every 7 or 8 years): can of condensed milk, can of evaporated milk, tsp of vanilla and powder-fresh Mississippi snow. ·

Susan Marquez: 8 cups snow, 1 can condensed milk, 1 tsp. vanilla. My mama used to make it for us on the rare occasion of snow...and Paula Deen uses the same recipe.

Dawn Beasley Macke: An easy one: 2 c. half & half, 5/8 c. sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, rare Mississippi snow. Who's on the testing panel? :D

Richard Perry substitute: bourbon for the vanilla extract

@zoolady: Gallon or so of snow, 1 cups sugar, 2 Tablespoons vanilla, whip in millk until it is icream

@moorebully: 6 cups freshly powdered snow, 9 cups any liquor.

My sis @ksayer's recipe for snowcream: Start with a coffee mug full of snow. Add maybe 1/2 c milk, 2T liquid vanilla creamer, 1 T of splenda, spiced tea vodka to taste, and the tiniest amount of vanilla extract. Add more snow if necessary :)

How about snow (or ice not that it's gone) and a little fresh mint, lime, and sugar?
