Vanilla Rainbow Ice Cream Recipe
Make your own Vanilla Ice Cream with a handful of on-hand ingredients.
Equipment
- Hand Mixer
- 6 Small Bowls
- Large Bowl with lid
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup Whipping Cream
- 4 Eggs large
- 2/3 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 6 Food Coloring red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
Instructions
- In a KitchenAid mixer, with the whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream until it forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted.
- Place six bowls on the countertop and then equally divide the cream into the six bowls.
- Measure and then add the food colorings to their own bowls, into the cream, one at a time.
- With a spatula, gently fold the cream and food colorings in each individual bowl until it is blended, making sure to clean and dry the spatula between each color.
- Place the bowls into the fridge to allow them to chill while the egg mixture is whipped.
- Clean the KitchenAid bowl and dry it, then add the eggs, sugar and Homemade Vanilla Extract.
- Beat the mixture with the whisk attachment until the mixture again forms a ribbon when the whisk is lifted.
- Remove the six bowls from the fridge and then divide the egg mixture between the colors.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the cream with a spatula, making sure to clean and then dry the spatula between each color.
- Place a 12-cup freezer-safe bowl on the countertop, resting on a bowl so it is tilted slightly, then add each color of ice cream into the bowl to create a rainbow pattern.
- Begin with purple, then blue, green, yellow, orange and finally pink.
- Cover the bowl and then place it into the freezer for 7-8 hours to chill and set.
- Finally, serve the Rainbow Ice Cream and enjoy!
Notes
This Rainbow Ice Cream can be a very versatile recipe.
For example, instead of vanilla with 6 colors, use just green and add mint extract with mini chocolate chips for Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream!
Happy Making!
