How does the ice cream freeze?
In order for ice to melt, it has to absorb energy. In this recipe, the smaller bag full of ingredients absorbs the energy from both the ice and your hands. Adding salt to the ice lowers the freezing point. Since the salted ice and your hands make the ice colder than it was, your ice cream freezes!
