Equipment
- KitchenAid stand mixer OR
- Spatula
- Ice cream serving bowls.
- Edible Cones if not using the serving bowls: Waffle cones, Sugar cones or waffle bowls.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 14 Oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ Cup rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- In a cold mixing bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream. Using a mixer with the whisk attachment, beat on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer the whipped cream to a large bowl. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt (if using).
- Gently fold everything together until well combined.
- Add the sprinkles and fold them in gently to avoid color bleeding.
- Pour the mixture into an ice cream container or loaf pan, smooth the top, and cover. Top with extras sprinkles. Cover with cling film.
- Freeze for 6 to 8 hours or overnight, until firm.
Notes
- Cold tools matter, make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are cold, this helps the cream whip faster and hold its shape. You can chill the mixer bowl and whisk in the freezer for 15 mins before you start.
- Be careful not to over whip because if you do you will be making butter.
- Use jimmies, not nonpareils, Jimmies (the long rod-shaped sprinkles) hold their color better. Nonpareils tend to bleed into the ice cream.
- Don’t over mix the sprinkles, fold them in gently at the end to keep the colors from running.
- When storing in the freezer, line with cling film making sure the cling film touches the ice cream so as to expel any trapped air. Then cover with the container lid.
- Add-ins welcome: Want to switch it up? Try mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, or even a swirl of chocolate syrup along with the sprinkles.
