Candy Cane Ice Cream in a Bag

Candy Cane Ice Cream in a Bag recipe
Photographs by Josephine Schiele. Food styling by Rebecca Jurkevich.

No ice cream maker, no problem. With this technique, you can whip up a bowl of ice cream all by yourself using just two zip-top bags, rock salt, and a bunch of ice. Shaking the bag for a full 10 minutes, which is longer than you might think, is critical! Wear gloves and shake outdoors or over a sink to catch any drips.
