Rainbow Ice Cream

A lovely tasting colourful ice cream perfect for kids parties, Halloween or just a fun dessert.

It's a simple recipe which doesn't require an ice cream machine. Just a few basic ingredients and a little creativity: kids will love to help out with making this dessert.

What you'll need

• 1 can condensed milk (397g / 14oz)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 cups heavy cream
• Food colouring of your choice
• Extra sprinkles and candy to decorate

Step 1: Whisk the Condensed Milk and Vanilla

This should only take a few seconds to combine. There's no need to overwhisk.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl whip the cream using an electric beater until stiff peaks form.

Step 3: Fold the Cream Into the Condensed Milk.

Use a spatula to gently fold in the cream.

Step 4: Colour Your Ice Cream

Divide mixture into 4 small bowls. Then add a few drops of colour into each bowl and gently stir in.

Step 5: Make the Ice Cream!

Add colours randomly to a medium freezer proof container and then use a knife to swirl and make patterns.

Step 6: Add Toppings to the Ice Cream

Choose your favourite candy and sprinkles and add to the top of the ice cream.

Step 7: Freeze Ice Cream

Freeze ice cream for 2-3 hours then enjoy.

Hi! Your ice cream looks delicious, but I wanted to verify something before I give it a shot. Do you mean evaporated milk, or sweetened condensed milk? Thanks for a great tutorial :-)
