Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add the heavy cream to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip it until stiff peaks form.
    2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • In a separate large bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, then fold into the whipped cream until well combined.
    14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Divide the ice cream mixture equally amongst three separate bowls.
  • Add two drops of food coloring to each bowl to make three separate ice cream colors. You can add more food coloring to get brighter colors.
    Pastel food coloring gel
  • Pour the ice cream into a prepared 9-inch loaf pan, layering the colors.
  • Use a toothpick, butter knife or even the end of a wooden spoon to swirl the ice cream until the colors are evenly distributed and the top is smooth.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of mermaid sprinkles on top of the ice cream, then cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid.

  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 6 hours or overnight, until it is firm enough to scoop.

Notes

To add mermaid tails to your ice cream, just fill a tail-shaped candy mold with melted candy melts and refrigerate until chocolate hardens (about 20 minutes). Once your ice cream sets, just add the tail to the top.
