Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract optional
- ½ teaspoon raspberry extract optional
- For the Colors
- Blue gel food coloring
- Red gel food coloring
- Yellow gel food coloring
Instructions
- Place a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to chill.
- Pour the cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream for 3–4 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture using a spatula until the mixture becomes smooth and airy.
- Divide the ice cream mixture evenly into three separate bowls.
- Add food coloring to each bowl:
- Blue coloring to the first bowl
- Red coloring to the second bowl
- Yellow coloring to the third bowl
- Stir gently until each portion is evenly colored.
- Spoon alternating layers of the colored mixtures into a freezer-safe container.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the colors together to create the classic Superman pattern.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3–5 minutes for easier scooping.
Notes
- Use very cold heavy cream to achieve the best whipped texture.
- Avoid overmixing when folding the whipped cream to keep the ice cream light and fluffy.
- Swirl the colors gently so they remain vibrant instead of blending together.
- Gel food coloring works best because it provides strong color without thinning the mixture.
