Instagram user and writer Jimmy Proffitt shared the video. He also posted a detailed caption explaining the recipe for the snow cream.

“Now lots of folks will have their recipe, and I’m sure they’re all good. Here’s how I do it. You will need a bowl full of clean fresh snow, sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla. How much of each depends on how much snow you have and the texture of the snow. This was the best, nice and fluffy. It’s not as good when it’s icy. Chill your evaporated milk and make it outside if you can, so it all stays cold while you make it,” he added.

"This can't be healthy. There must be a bunch of microbe civilizations in that snow,” joined a fifth. “This legit just made me so happy to watch,” wrote a sixth.
