In this hazing heat, nothing beats eating ice cream in a cone! But, what if you're stuck in traffic and you just want to eat one all of a sudden? We just discovered that you could make one yourself, whenever and wherever!

Here's how you can make your own that's sure to beat the summer heat!

In a pint-size ziplock, mix:
2 tbsps. sugar
1 cup half and half cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup of sliced and/or crushed fruits (depends on the flavor you want), chocolate chips, or Oreo/Cream-O (optional)

Next, in a gallon-size ziplock, mix:
1/2 cup of salt
1 cup of ice cubes

Lastly:
Put the ziplocked ice cream mixture in the gallon-sized ziplock. Seal it and shake it for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes solid (but soft enough to be eaten).

Enjoy!
