- Super-easy ice-cream
To make one serving, mix together in a small zip top bag:
125 mL (½ cup) half-and-half cream
1 mL (¼ tsp) vanilla
15 mL (1 tbsp) white granulated sugar
Press the air out of the bag and seal it.
Half fill a large zip top bag with ice and 30 mL (2 tbsp) coarse salt. Stir the salt so that it coats the ice. Put the small bag in the big bag. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Jiggle, squeeze and toss the bag for ten minutes. Brrrrr…you might need your winter gloves! Ta-da! Soft ice-cream!
- S’mores
You don’t always need a campfire to make these yummy treats. You can make them at home using the microwave.
Ingredients: arrowroot cookies or graham crackers, chocolate chips or pieces of chocolate, marshmallows.
Put a cookie on a plate and place your chocolate on top. Place a marshmallow on top of the chocolate. Heat in the microwave for a few seconds until the marshmallow starts to get puffy. Take it out of the microwave and add another cookie on top. Push down lightly, let it cool and enjoy. Careful! They can be very hot.
- Milkshake
Mix ice cream or frozen yogurt in a blender along with frozen or fresh fruit. You may have to add a little bit of milk or soy milk to make it less thick.
- Make Peanut Butter Balls
Allergy Alert!: Don’t make this recipe if you have allergies to nuts or milk products.
Ingredients:
250 mL (1 cup) peanut butter
80 mL (2/3 cup) powdered milk
60 mL (¼ cup) coconut
125 mL (½ cup) raisins
60 mL (¼ cup) honey
Mix all the ingredients together. Make small balls or other shapes and enjoy! (You can freeze these treats too.)
- Cookies in a jar
Pull out your favourite cookie recipe, a large sealer jar (you can also use a spaghetti sauce jar), some ribbon and you have a lovely gift.
First, make sure your recipe's dry ingredients will fit in the jar you have chosen. To do that, use your math skills. Add up (on paper) all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, chocolate chips, etc.--NOT eggs, butter, etc.). What does it add up to? Swap it for water. So, if you have 3 cups of dry ingredients, pour 3 cups of water into your jar. If it fits, your dry ingredients will fit. Layer the dry ingredients, one at a time, into the jar. Put the lid on as well as some ribbon--to pretty it up. Add a tag with the cookie's baking instructions. Do they need to add an egg, vanilla and butter? Write that on the tag. All they will need to do is add the wet ingredients to your jar's mix and they will be ready to bake cookies!
Hint: If you don't have large sealer jars, you might be able to find some at a second hand store. Make sure you wash them before adding your ingredients.
