Description
A colorful and fun no-churn ice cream recipe inspired by mermaids, perfect for a summer treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup blue food coloring
- 1/2 cup pink food coloring
- 1/2 cup purple food coloring
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully incorporated.
- Divide the mixture evenly into three separate bowls.
- Add blue food coloring to one bowl, pink to the second, and purple to the third. Stir each bowl until the colors are well blended.
- In a freezer-safe container, alternate spoonfuls of each colored mixture to create a swirled effect. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the colors together if desired.
- If using, sprinkle the top with sprinkles for added fun.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
- You can customize the colors by using natural food dyes or fruit purees for a different flavor profile.
