A couple of weeks ago I showed you how to make Root Beer Float Pops and how to add flavor to any soda. This time I enlisted my youngest’s help to make ice cream in a bag. But not just any ice cream in a bag. This kind has flavor. Chocolate Caramel to be exact. All you need is a few ingredients and five minutes. Don’t believe me? Try it out yourself:
I’ve done baggie ice cream before but wasn’t sure how it’d turn out with using additional ingredients. I’m happy to report that it worked perfectly!! For our flavor, it tastes more caramel-y than chocolate-y. But it was a fun take on traditional vanilla. The possibilities are endless for what kinds you can make. Just substitute the Chocolate Caramel ID coffee creamer with another flavor!
This is what it looks like when you’re ready to take it out. It looks kind of suspect but sure enough, when you scoop it into a bowl, it’s ice cream!

My sidekick enjoyed making this with me (he did all the hard work) and reaping the rewards of shaking the bag:

We did something similar when my kids were little. Now they are teens. I wonder if I can get them to do it again…
