Equipment

stand mixer

Ingredients

16 ounces heavy whipping cream 2 cups
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
food dye
sprinkles

Instructions

In a stand mixer or with an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. This is kind of a soft whipped cream texture.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in the sweetened condensed milk.
Divide the ice cream batter into three or more bowls and gently mix the food coloring into the batter.
Add the different colors of batter and sprinkles to a loaf pan, distributing the colors throughout.
Then use a butter knife to gently swirl the colors. Top with more sprinkles.
Cover the loaf pan with a lid or aluminum foil and freeze overnight. Now you can scoop your ice cream and enjoy!

Notes

I like to mix sprinkles with edible glitter, as I feel it adds to the whimsical unicorn charm.

Store the ice cream in the loaf pan with aluminum foil on top or plastic wrap pressed to the top of the ice cream so it doesn’t get freezer burn in the freezer.

This unicorn ice cream will last in the freezer for up to a month or more.

If you don’t want to make this vanilla ice cream from scratch, you could also use store-bought vanilla ice cream and mix food dye and sprinkles into it.
