Practical notes

How long does it take to make no churn ice cream?

This ice cream can be whipped up in no time. We takes just a few minutes to mix it up. But the hard part is allowing it to set up. This can take 4-6 hours in the freezer, or best to let sit overnight.

How to prevent ice crystals on no churn ice cream?

Yes, you will find the consistency of this ice cream is soft when you pour it into your container. But as it freezes it will harden. The frosting in this recipe makes it a bit softer in texture, so that is why we recommend freezing for 6 hours instead of just 4 like other no churn recipes.

Ingredients

Makes 10 servings

• 2 14 oz cans of sweetened condensed milk
• 4 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 container of strawberry frosting
• Black, pink, teal and purple food coloring (I used Wilton Gel)
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• Galaxy sprinkles

Method

1. Start by pouring your heavy cream into a stand mixer. We have found chilling the bowl helps to speed up the process. (This is our stand mixer)
2. Once your heavy cream forms stiff peaks you will now slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, and fold it in. Don’t overmix as that can flatten the whipped cream.
3. Grab 4 different containers to split the ice cream mixture up. Then add the frosting into one bowl with part of the whipped no-churn ice cream.
4. Now add drops of food coloring into each bowl. With the strawberry frosting, we did add a few drops to make it more vibrant. Do one bowl black, purple, and a teal blue. Or get creative and make your own mix of colors.
5. Spoon drop the colors into your pan, making sure to have a mix. This will give it that multi-color look! Once all the colors are in, use a wooden skewer or knife, and give a swirl to mix colors.
6. Sprinkle with galaxy sprinkles cover well and freeze for up to 6 hours.
7. Once ready remove the no churn galaxy ice cream and dish up one sweet and flavorful ice cream.

Kitchen notes

Using the frosting does make this ice cream softer. You are welcome to skip the frosting if you want a firmer texture, but it does add a lot of flavor to the ice cream!
