How to Make Mini Ice Cream from Creamer Cups
How-to site Instructables has a solution for the next time you're hankering for mini shots of ice cream at a fast food joint or coffee shop. All you'll need: single serving creamer cups, salt, sugar, ice water, and a craving.
Using the old-fashioned churning method, expect to down these chilly shots in less than fifteen minutes. If you're particularly intrepid, you might also try making mini butter. As a child who loved Little House on the Prairie, I had a peculiar obsession with making my own butter. Thus, after a little bit of Google and a lot of shaking, those creamer cups became, sadly, a failed butter experiment. Maybe just stick with the mini ice cream.

Brilliant!!!! And so much more productive for my kids to amuse themselves with at the table than "Who Can Make The Most Disgusting Mixture of Coke, Ketchup, Salt, Sugar, Pepper, Creamers and Leftovers In Their Water Glass".

You need heavy cream to make butter - half and half just won't cut it. Creamer ice cream is a fabulous idea, though.

I hope to God none of my guests see this. But, I'm going to try it the first chance I get!
