Make Your Own Ice Cream

June is National Dairy Month and to celebrate it why don't we make Ice Cream!

Here's a quick and fun way to make your own ice cream and your kids can help.

Best part is, it only takes 5 minutes!Here's what your need (this is based on 1 serving):

Ice cubes (enough to fill each gallon-size bag about half full)
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup salt (The bigger the granules, the better. Kosher or rock salt works best, but table salt is fine.)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint-size ziplock bag
1 gallon-size ziplock bag
Your favorite toppings such as chocolate chips, cereal pieces, candy or fresh fruit.
After combining the ingredients, each kid can simply shake up his or her own pouch of soft serve -- and it's done in just 5 minutes.

Yummy! I can't wait to try this at home.
