Gather ingredients: snow (fresh and clean), sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract (optional), salt (optional)
Choose clean snow from a shaded area away from roads, sidewalks, and pets
Add snow to a large bowl and pack it lightly
Pour in sweetened condensed milk (start with about 1/2 to 1 cup per 2–3 cups of snow)
Add vanilla extract (optional) to taste
Add a tiny pinch of salt (optional) to balance sweetness
Stir gently until the mixture looks creamy and evenly combined
Taste and adjust: more condensed milk for sweetness or more snow for thickness
Serve immediately
