RAINBOW ICE-CREAM



Rainbow Ice-Cream image

I remember making this for the family, when the kids were younger. Even though they are much older now, I think they would still enjoy it. It looks so pretty served in tall glasses. Try using a cheaper ice-cream if making for kids, it still tastes great and is a little more economical. This recipe can also be made ahead, but not more than 2 days. N.B-- M and M's can be used insted of Smarties.

2 liters vanilla ice cream
250 g smarties candies

Steps:

  • Soften ice-cream slightly in a large bowl, and when softened stir in Smarties, but DO NOT overmix.
  • Spoon Smartie ice-cream back into ice-cream container and freeze.
  • When serving try serving the Smartie ice-cream in long tall glasses, and decorate with extra Smarties and a wafer.

Tips:

  • To achieve vibrant colors, use high-quality food coloring or natural alternatives like fruit juices and vegetables.
  • Chill each layer of ice cream thoroughly before adding the next one to prevent the colors from bleeding together.
  • Use an ice cream maker or the hand-churning method for creamier results.
  • If using an ice cream maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning time.
  • For a softer ice cream, transfer it to the freezer for about 2 hours before serving.
  • For a firmer ice cream, freeze it for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
