Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Red gel food coloring
Yellow gel food coloring
Blue gel food coloring
Optional: ¼ teaspoon cherry extract (for red)
Optional: ¼ teaspoon lemon extract (for yellow)
Optional: ¼ teaspoon blue raspberry extract (for blue)

Instructions

In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 minutes).
In a separate bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a spatula. Mix until smooth and airy—don’t overmix!
Divide the mixture evenly into three bowls. Add red food coloring to one, yellow to the second, and blue to the third. Stir each just until the color is fully blended.
Optional: Add a few drops of cherry, lemon, and blue raspberry extract to their corresponding colors and mix gently.
Spoon dollops of each color randomly into a loaf pan. Use a butter knife to gently swirl once or twice—avoid over-swirling to keep the colors distinct.
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4–6 hours, or until solid.

Let sit for 5 minutes before scooping, then serve in bowls or cones and enjoy the colorful magic!

Notes

For best results, use gel food coloring—not liquid—to get those bold, vibrant hues.
Want natural coloring? Try beet powder (red), turmeric (yellow), and butterfly pea powder (blue)—the colors will be more subtle.
Store tightly covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
A warm ice cream scoop (dipped in hot water) makes scooping even easier!
