Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon raspberry extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- 1-2 drops blue gel food coloring
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until it thickens and forms soft peaks. This creates the fluffy base required for the no-churn ice cream.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, raspberry extract, and lemon extract into the whipped cream, mixing until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Color: Carefully add 1-2 drops of blue gel food coloring to the mixture. Stir gently until you reach the desired, vibrant shade of blue.
- Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into a container or tub suitable for freezing, then cover and freeze for at least 5 to 6 hours, or until fully set.
- Serve: Before serving, allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to achieve the optimal creamy texture.
Notes
- Use a chilled bowl and beaters to help the cream whip faster and better.
- Adjust the amount of blue gel food coloring to get your preferred shade of blue without affecting the flavor.
- For an extra twist, add mix-ins like sprinkles or white chocolate chips before freezing.
- This ice cream is best consumed within a week for optimal flavor and texture.
- Ensure the container is airtight to prevent freezer burn.
