Who remembers Superman Ice Cream as a kid? Well my son has been requesting it and since it being National Ice Cream Month I decided to put a spin on the tradition of homemade ice cream made with just 3 ingredients plus food coloring!

🌈 HOMEMADE SUPERMAN ICE CREAM

✨ Ingredients:
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Red, yellow, and blue gel food coloring

👩‍🍳 How to make it:

In a mixing bowl, beat cold whipping cream with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form.

In a separate bowl, stir vanilla into the condensed milk.

Gently fold whipped cream into the milk mixture.

Divide into 3 bowls and color each red, yellow, and blue.

Spoon the colors randomly into a loaf pan. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).

Optional: Add fun flavors to each color! Think cherry, banana, or blue raspberry.
