- Fill one of the pint size bags with the cream, vanilla, and sugar, then seal it.
- Using the other pint size bag, double bag the first bag to prevent messy leakage.
- Place enough ice in ONE of the gallon bags until it is halfway full. Then add the salt.
- Using the other gallon sized bag, double bag the bag with the salt and ice in it.
- Place the doubled pint size bag inside the gallon bag with ice and salt. Make sure that both the bags are still sealed.
- Shake the bags for about 10 minutes, until you see ice cream taking shape in the small bag. It is advisable to wear gloves while performing this step, because your hands may get cold.
- Take out the small bag with the vanilla, sugar, and cream. Remove the other bags. Enjoy!
