What you need to make galaxy ice cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1, 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Wilton gel coloring in black, violet, royal blue, and pink

All you have to do is mix the heavy whipping cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Separate the ice cream mixture into four bowls so you can color each one.

Use a larger bowl for the black coloring, so it’s even more space-like.

Drop blobs of the mixture into a loaf pan.

Have fun with the colors and layer them however you want.

Once your pan is full and tamped down, smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Top with sprinkles and place the loaf pan into the freezer for 4-6 hours.

Serve in fun sundae dishes and top with more sprinkles.

Stand back and watch the far-out smiles fill the room.

If you make a lot of ice cream like I do, you might want to get this ice cream container instead of using a loaf pan.

The containers have lids and stack well in the freezer. I have two and I love them!
