Color and Flavor Mixes

• Blue food coloring

• Yellow food coloring
• 1 tablespoon berry blue Jell-O mix
• 1 tablespoon cherry Jell-O mix

Instructions

1. Whip the cream: Add the heavy whipping cream to a large bowl. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks form, which usually takes a few minutes. This gives the ice cream its light and fluffy texture.
2. Combine condensed milk and vanilla: In another large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Whisk these together until fully combined.

5. Layer the colors: In a shallow freezer-safe dish, dollop the three colored mixtures alternately. Avoid stirring or blending the colors together to keep distinct layers.
6. Freeze: Place the dish in the freezer for 5 to 6 hours or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop and serve.

Notes

• For best results, use full-fat heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk to ensure the ice cream is creamy and rich.
• Make sure the whipped cream forms stiff peaks to maintain the ice cream’s light texture.
• Do not stir or swirl the colors once layered to keep the distinct Superman color effect.
• Freeze time may vary depending on your freezer, so check the ice cream after 5 hours.
• Use a shallow dish to allow the ice cream to freeze evenly and make scooping easier.
