Tips for Making this Rainbow Ice Cream Recipe
If you’ve ever made homemade ice cream, then turning it into rainbow ice cream just requires a couple of extra steps. Here’s how to get the best results:
Keep it Cold
It’s critical to use very cold dishes and utensils when making this recipe. Before making your ice cream, chill the whisk, bowls, loaf pan, and any other dishes used in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. On the same note, be sure to start with very cold cream and condensed milk as well. These steps will help set the ice cream and create a delicious, light texture.
Be Gentle
Be sure to gently fold in the whipped cream and the food coloring. Don’t over stir, or your ice cream will end up losing its fluffy texture.
Get Creative with Color
Use your favorite food coloring to express yourself with your rainbow ice cream! This recipe is perfect for letting your creative side go to work.
Plan ahead, so you have the right food coloring and follow the right steps to get the design you want.
- You can go for a classic, pastel, or neon rainbow depending on the food coloring you choose.
- Focus on more pinks and purples or blues and greens (or any combination of colors) to create different rainbow themes. You can truly customize this rainbow ice cream for any occasion.
Design Your Rainbow
How you add your colored ice cream to the freezer container will determine what pattern you get. Here are some ideas:
- Add the colors in stripes for a classic rainbow look. You can create layers horizontally or vertically or even diagonally.
- Or add the colors randomly and swirl gently with a knife for a swirled rainbow pattern.
Add Some Fun
This rainbow ice cream creates a lot of fun on its own, here are some ways to give your ice cream even more flair:
- Fold some edible glitter into half of the colors for some sparkly pizazz.
- Top with rainbow sprinkles – or try different types of sprinkles like stars, beads, or other cute shapes.
- Use your favorite colorful candies as toppings.
