Ingredients
Scale
Base Ice Cream Mixture
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Color and Flavor Mixes
- Blue food coloring
- Red food coloring
- Yellow food coloring
- 1 tablespoon berry blue Jell-O mix
- 1 tablespoon cherry Jell-O mix
- 1 tablespoon lemon Jell-O mix
Instructions
- 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.
- Combine condensed milk and vanilla: In another large bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Whisk these together until fully combined.
- Fold whipped cream into condensed milk: Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk mixture, being careful to keep the mixture light and fluffy without deflating the whipped cream.
- Divide and color the mixture: Separate the combined ice cream base evenly into three medium bowls. Add blue food coloring and berry blue Jell-O mix to one bowl, red food coloring and cherry Jell-O mix to the second, and yellow food coloring and lemon Jell-O mix to the third. Stir each bowl until the colors and flavors are fully incorporated, adjusting food coloring to your desired vibrancy.
- 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.
- Freeze: Place the dish in the freezer for 5 to 6 hours or until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop and serve.
- Serve: Scoop out the colorful ice cream and enjoy your homemade Easy Superman Ice Cream treat.
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.
