Are you looking to add a new majestic look to your ice cream? Try out this recipe for a delicious and gorgeous bowl of sweet unicorn ice cream! The sharp, electric colors make this ice cream practically glow. Filled with sprinkles and a bit of disco dust, this ice cream is the perfect treat for a unicorn-themed event or ice cream craving.
- Makes: Approx. 5 cups of ice cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4-5 gel food coloring colors (electric blue, electric green, egg yellow, purple, magenta, etc.)
- Star sprinkles (optional)
- Purple disco dust (optional)
- Green disco dust (optional)
Steps
-
Beat the whipping cream in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the cream on high speed for about 3-4 minutes, until peaks begin to form.
-
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Beat on high speed until fully combined.Advertisement
-
Divide the whipping cream mixture into 4-5 bowls.
-
Add 3-4 drops of a gel food color into each bowl. Mix each color well with a spoon until the color is vibrant.
-
Layer the colors on a container. Place each colored whipped cream in a freezer-proof container using a rubber spatula.
-
Gently swirl the colors around using a kabob skewer or butter knife. Sprinkle the disco dust and sprinkles over the ice cream, if desired. This gives the ice cream a more unicorn-themed look and enhances the beauty of it.
- Don't stir the colors - this will mix them together and ruin the unicorn effect. You want to run the skewer or knife through the colors in a straight line, rather than in a circular motion.
-
Freeze the ice cream. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid. Freeze the unicorn ice cream for about 8 hours or overnight, until the ice cream is fully solid.
-
Serve. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the ice cream into a serving bowl. Garnish with sprinkles, disco dust, and/or whipped cream. Enjoy!Advertisement
