Servings 12 servings
Ingredients
- 16 ounces (454 g) heavy cream
- 14 ounces (397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- food coloring pink, purple, blue, and yellow
- 1 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip until stiff peaks are achieved, about 3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. Add whipped cream from the previous step and gently fold until incorporated.
- Divide ice cream base evenly between two bowls. Add orange extract to one bowl and lemon extract to the other, folding to incorporate each. Then, divide the orange mixture into two bowls and the lemon mixture into two bowls, for four total bowls of ice cream base.
- Add one food coloring to each bowl. I used pink, purple, blue, and yellow. Gently fold to incorporate.
- In a loaf pan, add dollops of each color to fill the pan. Once the pan is halfway full, add half of your rainbow sprinkles in a single layer. Once full, add remaining sprinkles on top.
- Cover and freeze for about 4-5 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Notes
- Extracts can be substituted with your favorite food extract flavors.
- Homemade ice cream will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer in a tightly sealed container.
- I used Betty Crocker Gel food coloring in yellow, blue, neon pink, and neon purple. Any food coloring (including natural coloring) will work in this recipe.
