How to make unicorn ice-cream
Unicorn ice-cream makes one pretty dessert. Try the rainbow creation at home on a hot summer's day and the kids will love you for it! Just follow these 4 steps…

It might look magical, but luckily making your own unicorn ice-cream is a lot easier than it seems! Follow our guide and get the kids involved in choosing their own colours for this delicious, creamy, marbled ice-cream.

Unicorn ice-cream

Serves: 12
Prep time: 10 mins
Freeze overnight 

Ingredients:

  • 600ml thickened cream
  • 395ml can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 food colourings, we used pink, yellow, blue
  • small silver cachous, to decorate 

Method:

Step 1: mix until soft peaks form (Photo credit: Richard Whitbread)

Step 1: Beat cream 

Place cream, condensed milk and vanilla into a large bowl. Using electric beaters, beat until mixture is thickened and forms soft peaks.

Step 2: Divide mixture, colour each and whisk carefully (Photo credit: Richard Whitbread)

Step 2: Add colours and mix

Divide mixture between 3 bowls. Add 3-4 drops of your chosen food colouring to each bowl. Using a whisk, carefully mix the colourings into each one until combined.

Step 4: swirl with a blunt knife (Photo credit: Richard Whitbread)

Step 3:  Swirl colours

Take a 1.5L freezer proof container. Spoon the coloured mixtures into the container, and swirl with a blunt knife to marble. Cover and freeze until firm.
