5-MINUTE Homemade ICE CREAM IN A BAG Recipe & Taste Test 

And, because you had to shake it for so long, it's a wash calorie wise. WIN!

Science is cool. 😉

Your boys are so lucky to have you for their mom. Adventurous, fearless and creative. You're funny too! ❤

I remember this from middle school parent/student social nights. Good memories. 😌

Definitely made this in science class in middle school. This never gets old.

In all fairness you double bagged the icecream which would have insulated it from the cold more.

We did this in science class in middle school, but with coffee cans. Use a large coffee can in place of the large plastic bag and then roll it. Somewhere between the ice cream ball and this method.

Made this at 4-H camp, had the girls cabin shake it up and they were in love. We added chocolate to the cream and got a subtle chocolate ice cream. To. Die. For. Especially when you're living in the woods with kids in 90 degree weather.

Ive tried this before! There is this channel called English Heritage and they have a series called "The Victorian Way". The series shows you how to make certain foods the Victorian way, and I must say it is very charming. I believe they have an icecream recipe. I would love to see you try to recreate the recipes from that series!

When I was living in my van I would sometimes make ice cream from coffee creamer servings and sugar packets I got from McDonalds. I didn't use the double bag method; instead I stirred the cream mixture with a hardware paint stick inside a metal camp pot. The pot sat in a small styrofoam cooler with the ice and salt. It took about 20 minutes as well. A lot of work but it was free and a nice treat. Enjoyed this demo.

I remember doing this all the time with my sister as a kid. We original got the recipe for it in a kid’s science experiment book. We would also add food coloring to get crazy colors. (I also remember we would shake it for awhile, but sometime we didn’t want to shake for that long so we would just stick it in the freezer half way through to firm up and it would still be fine.)

It takes a little longer than 5 minutes but I make ice cream every year in my classroom for science when we learn about mixtures and solutions. My students love it.

It’s not butter on top, but lovely cream....it’ll make butter or clotted cream etc. very quickly. I live in a rural area with lots of fresh, unpasteurized, milk available...I love this stuff

Hey Emmy! When I was a child I was in Girl Scouts and we would put the mixture in a small coffee container and put it in the ice (which was in a very large tin (coffee)) container and played “kick the can” for around 10 minutes, we called it kick the can ice cream! :)

My mom would do this but with a gallon bag or ice cream in a coffee can of ice and salt. She would put it together and give it to us kids to take outside to roll around and play with for 30 mins or so, then we would bring it in and have ice vream. Itwas great for the summer and made good memories.

It takes longer when double bagged because the second bag acts as an insulator.

I remember we did this in my 1st grade class. We all had a small sandwich bag and made ourselves ice cream. I think this was for science, but everyone was so excited about ice cream that I don’t think we learned much. 😂

Emmy - a hint - if you add a bit of water (1/8 cup) between the cream bag and the doubling bag it will freeze faster because of enhanced conductivity. This should eliminate the time penalty you pay for the safety of double-bagging. If you are really into squeezing the bag to see if it ready, use schnapps or Drambuie instead of water. The schnapps won't freeze like the water will and you can use the schnapps for an extra special topping.

Hi Emmy, we actually made ice cream in a bag when I was at scouts' camp. On a hot summer day when there was no option of getting ice cream in the forest we would put the ingredients in a plastic bag and put it in a garbage bag with ice and salt and stand in a circle and toss the bag around till it was ready so it was really fun and also was very quick. we used ingredients such as instent pudding, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, and some crushed Oreos. It was really fun and also tasty!!

When I was in Girl Scouts, we did this. We put a mason jar with our ice cream mixture in the center of a large/ gallon sized coffee can and put the lid on the jar, then filled the cavity around the jar with ice and salt, then put the can lid on. We sat on the floor and rolled the can back and forth until done. I don't remember how long it took, as it was many years ago. Thank you for bringing back that memory!

Being lactose intolerent doesn't stop me from eating ice-cream. I love ice-cream.

You totally deserve your own show on your own food network! I love it!

My physics teacher did this with us on the last day of school. It was awesome. We stood on a pathway and tossed it back and forth with our partner until it froze. It was a lot of fun! After, we pushed it into a bowl and added toppings.

Emmy this video brought back so many great memories from my childhood!!! We used to make this all the time when I was a kid. The second bag you used over the cream mix would be why it took longer, as well as taking it out every 5 minutes. We would shake it for as long as we could(usually about 10-15 mind) non stop and then check it. Hope you and your boys have fun making more!!

4:06 That's oddly satisfying. Like a visual ASMR.

Hey, Winston The Ice-Cream was literally shook

we did a version of that recipe years ago, only we used coffee cans instead of ziplock bags. the kids rolled the big can around the living room and yep, we got ice cream. it melted faster than they could eat it, but it was a fun experience.

This reminds me of making Snow Ice Cream with my mother when I was a child. It took forever, but it was such a treat after all that hard work!

i think I'm more likely to have ice cream in the freezer than 3 / 4 cups of ice cubes 😄

We did this several years back when I used to work at a daycare! The kids loved making their own ice cream

Always watching! You brighten up my days, Emmy!

Thank you for never having clickbait and for always being authentic.. from the thumbnails of your RU-vid videos to your personality! You are loved!

I did something similar as a child using a small can and a bigger can. Place ice cream ingredients in small container, seal well with lid and tape. Put smaller container into bigger container. Add ice and salt. Seal outer container. Have a blast with the kiddos laughing and giggling as you all take turns rolling it on the floor for a half hour to forty five minutes. Eat delicious ice cream.

I have to say no matter how bad my day you always make me smile I love the voices and sounds you make and your energy you are more to me to people than food and taste test you keep some of us going when our days are not so good so I just want to say Emmy thank and may God bless you always

This looks so fun! My partner and I enjoy everything that you do, especially your fun little recipe Adventures like this. Keep being the adorable and Unapologetic you!

I love your videos so much Emmy! So educational and a great way to learn about new foods/recipes!

Yum!! Emmy that looks delicious! But I still think I’m gonna get myself an ice cream maker 😆 btw, I LOVE your hair right now! 💕

My well-being increases every time Emmy uploads

We used to winter camp. We'd put the ingredients in a coffee can. Chase it around, gently, in the snow. After 25 minutes, we would have ice cream. I know! We're a bunch of sick puppies for having ice cream in the winter

Great job!!! Also thanks for the break down of your words you say when eating....I am a huge game and I look forward to each video!!!

Hand cranked ice cream does the same thing, our family made ice cream all the time, everyone took turn of cranking

the reason why it was so time consuming was because you should have used a lot more salt to decrease the temperature a lot instead of adding more ice.

It was a really hot summer day in a science lesson when our teacher literally stood up and started telling us we were going to make ice cream. Half an hour later we were eating plain milk homemade ice cream under the hot sun together chatting happily. This recipe gives me so much memory and joy remembering our salty but refreshing ice creams lol😂💕 Edit: it was salty because the bags punctured lol. Also it took half an hour because everyone was so hyped up and there was alot of mess but it was great

I just love Emmy's videos, she's always so bubbly and I'm always excited to see what random thing she'll be up to each time haha! Keep up the great work :)

Don’t use corn syrup. It’s unnecessary and only adds calories etc. don’t double bag unless you add some water to the second bag

Does anyone remember the episode of Zoom where they make ice cream by rolling the mixture in a can? 2 people rolled it back and forth.. This reminds me of that 😄

I've made this with my preschoolers as a reward for finally filling up our kindness jar! They LOVED this! It was a lot of work but it was delicious.

You are so entertaining! I absolutely love watching your videos!

Holy shit I can’t believe how far this young lady has come on this plat form

Double bagging your mixture is part of what made it take longer I bet

Hard to believe I've been subscribed since 2012 & have loved every video! Congratulations on all the growth & success!!!

You are too adorable for words! Always watch your videos when I get a notification! ❤️

I’m sure if you used one bag instead of double bagging the cream, it would have worked much quicker! less layers!

Omg I’ve never been this early ICE CREAM QUEEN

When I was a kid we just put a bag inside a coffee can and rolled the coffee can on the floor back and forth like young kids do until it was time to open the can and see what was inside. It was always icecream. We did this for science class inside the gymnasium in elementary school, fun times.

OMG! If I watched TV, I would totally watch a show with you doing what you do! I love how knowledgable you are and that it's no big deal to fail at 1st attempts etc. Keep up the great work!

just freeze sliced bananas and put them in a blender. done or with more creaminess, add abit of milk or coconutmilk, if you likeit vegan. no sugar, all healthy ice cream. also with strawberry and blueberries possible

I've been making homemade ice cream for over 50 years (I'm 71, taught by my ice cream loving grandmother). I've used manual and electric methods but I still buy store-bought because I'm basically lazy. But, when I run out of ice cream in the Summer I make my own in a pinch. HINT: NEVER use corn syrup rather use granulated or powdered sugar for better results. Also, blend a couple teaspoons of custard powder or flavored drink powder to your batch (use less vanilla though). Use a whisk to mix the ingredients before pouring into a Ziploc baggie to add more air for a lighter ice cream experience. Also, the double bag wasn't really an issue because your ice started out wet and looked partially thawed therefore it didn't get cold enough. Ice water doesn't make firm ice cream. Use the hardest ice straight from the freezer (and rock salt) to make your ice cream firm faster with minimum melting -- 5 minutes tops when the ice is super hard cold! Experiment with frozen fruit...canned and fresh will work too when partially frozen. Partially to fully frozen blueberries or strawberries are incredibly delicious! Mash a couple tablespoons of a ripe banana in with the vanilla ice cream mixture for a truly satisfying taste treat!

You are SO stinkin adorbs, Emmy! 😊 I love your vids ❤️

This is so cool and creative and it looks so yummy. I saw your marble run at school for a project and I loved the video so when I got home I searched up your channel and I luv ur videos! Great job :)

Too much like work, which is why God made Ben & Jerry.

oh That's the way they make Ice-Cream in the old day. in Thailand, it's like that popcicle were make like that in the Festival. But not from plastic bag. Oh and Mint Chochip is my fav!

Always happy to see a new Emmy upload! 💕💕💕💓💓

That's so creative, Emmy! Love it......way to go! 😉👍

I did this in third grade science class. It's still fun as an adult

“Hey, Winston!” :P

A couple years back, my son wanted ice cream - didn't have the extra money for it - so I googled homemade ice cream - found a bunch of recipes like the one you had but I didn't have corn syrup or heavy cream... but it WAS almost Thanksgiving and I had a TON of evaporated milk from a coupon splurge I'd done --- so I just grabbed a can of evaporated milk and a packet of hot cocoa mix (with marshmallows) threw it together, stuck it in a bag, had him shake it for a while - and boom, 2 helpings of chocolate ice cream for him and myself. It was perfect! instead of using the second bag for the salty ice, I used a big bowl with a lid - put into a bag and yes - it was quite noisy but honestly I think it worked fantastically, and it was definitely somewhere around the 5 minute mark with the amount of agitation/salt-ice that was inside it.

I love your videos. I've been watching them for years!!

Who hasn't had to make zip lock bag ice cream in science class in middle school

This is literally so delicious! I will continue to follow this recipe! thx u

I did this in my 10th grade chemistry class. After learning the trick, I never forgot it, and actually made my own ice cream a few times after that, when an overwhelming craving hit me.

I would love to see the mint chip version. :)

Recipe: - 1/2 c of heavy whipping cream - 1/2 c whole milk - 1 pinch of salt - 2 teaspoons of corn syrup - 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

I did this KETO and Vegan! I used 1/2 cup coconut creamer, 1/2 cup coconut milk. 2 tbsp monk fruit, 1 shot of chocolate stevia, and 1/2 tbsp cocao powder. I wisked it all together until the cocao powder was fully dissolved. Then I mixed it all together! SOOOO good. I can never find vegan ice cream that is also Keto! I will use this anytime I have a craving for ice cream! :)

We did something similar in elementary school. We had clean paint cans or coffee cans and a small Tupperware container of crem, milk, and vanilla ect. We layered ice, salt, ice, salt, ice cream container in the middle, ice, salt, ice, salt, in the metals cans until full and a good sealed lid and rolled it back and forth to each other. It took 5 mins for ice cream. It was fun.

Never been this early beforeeee

:) I remember doing this in 10th grade chemistry

I find that it thickens much faster without the milk, so just cream, sugar and flavouring. Also, try it without double bagging the cream, and try leaving a little bit of air in the bag of cream so it can "churn" when you're shaking it :)

There is a RU-vid channel with the cutest little pastry chef from Italy. She actually grew up in Jersey and then moved to Italy. She works as a pastry chef in a restaurant in Rome Italy. What in adventure. Anyhow she has figured out how to make soft serve ice cream in the freezer at home. I haven't done it yet but it totally looks legit. Her name of the RU-vid channel is Emma's Goodies.

Hi Emmy! I can’t believe I got here so early~ I love your videos and have been watching for a few years now!

I get so happy when you upload. This was literally the highlight of my day 🤗💓

I remember somebody (maybe Jamie Oliver?) made 'ice cream' quickly without an ice cream maker by blending (in a blender) heavy cream and frozen strawberries. The fact that the fruit was frozen and being cut into minuscule pieces directly inside the cream allowed the whole thing to come together and freeze very quickly. The downside is that you have to choose fruit flavors, but it's the best 'no machine' recipe I've ever come across.

I did this with my elementary kids! Ours took abt ten minutes (cause the kids had a tendency to get tired or shake unevenly) but if you use a rock salt and ice water mixture between the two bags it should come together a LOT faster. And our ice cream recipe just used heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. I think your idea of using heavier duty bags was smart. When we made ours, a few of the kids didn't seal their inner bag properly, so some salt water got into the bags.

I loved this! I did this in high school chemistry class, a hint, it happens much faster if you don't double bag (freezer bags are super hardy) and you put in half the ice and salt in, then the cream bag, and then the rest of the ice and salt with a dash of water. When we did it everyone was done within 8-10 min. Again love your videos!

I so gotta try this. Great idea to try out. Well done Emmy and God bless!

I been watching your videos since I was a little. I loved your pokin cookin vids!

Emmy your so awesome and such a great way to end my day everyday! Takes the stress away!

Used to do something like this with my brother when we were younger. Similar recipe, but we sealed the mix in a gallon baggie or an old coffee tin, and put the whole thing inside a HUGE pickle jar (the ones that used to store those big, whole pickles that you could buy at our middle school ball games for .50 each). Fill the big jar with ice & salt, and we sat on the kitchen floor and rolled it back & forth between us until it was done 😌 good memories with my bubba ❤️

Try putting the ice/salt loose in a salad spinner with the double bagged ice cream mixture. Reverse rotation periodically and flip bag over as well once in awhile.

Can’t wait to try this!!!!

Love your channel keep it up!!!

it also works great to use 2 sizes of coffee cans. put the icr cream base in the small can, place into the big can, put the ice and salt in between, and then seal and roll it around!

Emmy i learned something. Thank you!🤓

It be fun if everyone in the family took a 5 minute turn. And I agree with the commenter below who said it took a bit longer because it was double bagged. Love your videos, Emmy!

Wonderful idea! Thank you so much, for this video! Great idea for Vacation Bible school class or my Girl Scouts. I'll be trying this; I promise! Thanks again, Emmy! Love you so much and your wonderful channel! ♥️ Congratulations on 1.2 subscribers, if I forgot to say before! Blessings!! 🍧🍦❄️♥️🙏☺️🎉

My great grandma use to make ice cream in a bag lol but I’m here simply for your beauty 😍

I am so glad you finally added what you say on the screen. I have always wondered. From a loving fan.

Omg! Thank you for spelling it! I've been trying to say it for 6 months lol. Awesome video!

Should try putting a basic no-egg ice cream mixture for a full quart into a resealable plastic jar and then put that jar inside a large coffee can filled with ice and salt. Seal the can, duct tape the lid down good and tight, wrap with a dish towel, secure with rubber bands, and let the kids roll it back and forth between them for about 20 to 30 minutes. And voila! Ice cream! It's a great summer activity for kids, and has a great reward when they're done!
