Cotton Candy Ice Cream
Yields: 6 servings
Creamy, slow-churned ice cream infused with the flavor of cotton candy that you can make at home with only 5 ingredients. Great for celebrating warmer weather!
Ingredients
- 2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- food coloring, (optional)
Instructions
- Before mixing ingredients, be sure that your chosen ice cream maker is ready to churn ice cream (attachments frozen, ice added, etc).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together heavy whipping cream, milk, sugar, cotton candy syrup, and vanilla extract until sugar is dissolved.
- If using food coloring: Depending on the brand of cotton candy syrup you used, the mixture might already have a color hue. If you'd like to change the color, keep in mind that it will not take a lot of food coloring to make big changes in color. Start off with a drop or two, mix it in, then see what you think. Remember you can always add more food coloring, but you can't remove it.
- Pour the mixed ice cream mixture into the chilled bowl/attachment of your ice cream maker.
- Churn ice cream for 25-30 minutes or until desired consistency is reached.
- If you'd like soft ice cream, serve cotton candy ice cream immediately. If you'd like firmer ice cream, transfer the ice cream to your chosen storage container and let it freeze for another 4-6 hours.
