1-Gather and Prepare Ingredients: Begin by chilling everything you’ll use, like your bowl and whisk, in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Make sure your heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk are very cold too. This step ensures a creamy texture that holds those vibrant layers we all enjoy.

2-Whip the Cream: Pour the 2 cups of heavy whipping cream into a large chilled bowl and whip it until stiff peaks form. Once that’s done, in a separate bowl, mix the 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk with 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract until it’s smooth. Carefully fold this mixture into the whipped cream to keep it airy and light.

3-Divide and Color the Mixture: Now, divide the base into six bowls, about 1 cup each. Add a different food coloring to each one and gently fold it in without deflating the mixture. This creates the colorful layers that make Rainbow Ice Cream so appealing to kids and adults alike.

4-Layer and Freeze: Take your chilled container and drop spoonfuls of each colored mixture into it, alternating colors to keep them separate. Cover the container and freeze it for at least eight hours in the coldest part of your freezer.

5-Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes. You can adjust for dietary needs by using substitutes like almond milk for a vegan version. The total prep time is just 15 minutes, with 8 hours of freezing, so it’s ready for your next gathering.
