5.) Put it inside of the second gallon sized bag and seal it.

6.) Wrap the bag with a lot of newspaper and strong tape like duct tape or packing tape.

This was yummy! We made the chocolate ice cream during our babysitting swap this week and the kids had a great time. Sam really got in there and played with the kids to make sure the ice cream was good. They did a solid 20 minutes of tossing around the ice cream ball. It was so yummy we want to try the strawberry one for FHE. We might even try it with dry milk.

First they just rolled it back and forth, but that was only fun for about 5 minutes. Then we each took a turn in 30 second intervals and tried to see who could do the silliest dance move or shake it the hardest.
