Ingredients
| 2 cup | 480 ml | heavy cream (very cold) |
| 14 oz | 395 g | sweetened condensed milk, canned |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | vanilla extract |
| — | gel food coloring (blue, pink, purple, and yellow) | |
| — | rainbow sprinkles (for topping) |
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Color the Mixture: Divide the mixture evenly into four separate bowls. Add a few drops of each gel food coloring to each bowl (one color per bowl) and mix until you achieve your desired shades.
- Layer the Colors: Take a Ninja Creami pint container and spoon the colored mixtures into the container, alternating between colors. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
- Freeze: Cover the pint container with a lid and freeze for 24 hours.
- Churn in Ninja Creami: After freezing, remove the pint from the freezer and place it in the Ninja Creami outer bowl. Attach the lid and select the "Ice Cream" setting to churn the mixture.
- Check the Texture: Once the initial cycle is complete, check the texture of the ice cream. If it appears a bit crumbly, use the re-spin function to achieve a creamier consistency.
- Add Your Mix-Ins: Once the ice cream is ready, create a tunnel in the center of the spun ice cream. Add about 1/4 cup of your chosen mix-ins (like more sprinkles or small candies) into this tunnel.
- Use the Mix-In Setting: Select the Mix-In setting on the Ninja Creami. This will gently incorporate your mix-ins into the ice cream without over-processing them.
- Serve: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and top with additional rainbow sprinkles. Enjoy your magical Unicorn Ice Cream!
