FUN FOOD
Squish!
Squash! Ice Cream!
Trapper Trails Council
For each Cub
Scout:
| 1/4 cup milk |
2 cups crushed ice |
| 1/4 C heavy whipping cream |
1/2 C table salt |
| 1/4 C granulated (white) sugar |
1 clear gallon-size resealable bag |
| 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 pair mitten/gloves optional |
| 1 clear quart-size resealable bag |
1 bowl or cup |
Team up your group into two
Cubs each. Have one Cub hold the quart-size bag while the other
measures the milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla into it. Show them how
to close the bag so excess air is out. Then the partners switch and
repeat the process. Each Cub then scoops about 2 cups of crushed ice
into a gallon-size bag, sprinkles it with the salt, and places the
full quart-size bag inside. Squeeze out the air, seal the big bag
and the fun begins. The boys may choose to wear gloves or mittens or
have them close by in case their fingers get too cold. Squish and
Squash the bags (knead), turning them over occasionally to work the
ingredients together and distribute the cold throughout. Have the
Cubs observe how the ingredients change while they knead them. It
takes about 10 minutes of active manipulation. Pour out the
salt-water ice, rinse the outside of the quart-size bag with cold
water to remove the salty residue, scoop out or pour the ice cream
into a cup or bowl. Add sprinkles, chocolate chips, fruits, syrups,
or any other favorite topper and enjoy the Squish! Squash! Ice
Cream!
