Krasnodar Residents Embrace Viral Snow Ice Cream Making
Krasnodar residents have caught on to a viral winter trend and started making ice cream right in the snow. Readers of 93.RU filmed a video showing how they prepare the dessert in yards and near houses — without a freezer or complex equipment.
The «ice cream on snow» trend has spread across all of Russia. Its essence is simple: in the cold, mix heavy cream (33%) and condensed milk or vanilla sugar in a pot, and an ordinary snowdrift serves as the freezer. For better effect, a small hole is made in the snow and sprinkled with salt — this helps the cold last longer.
The mixture is actively stirred with a whisk until it thickens. 10-15 minutes and the dessert is ready. Participants of the trend assure that the taste of such ice cream is «like in childhood» and even better than store-bought. In the video above, they didn«t wait long and used the resulting mixture as a kind of cream.
In Krasnodar, the weather currently favors such experiments — the city maintains sub-zero temperatures (below 32°F), and there is still enough snow. Forecasters promise frost in the middle of the work week.
