How to Make Sprinkles Ice Cream
Here are the step by step instructions to make this ice cream with sprinkles!
Step 1: Whisk the Sweetened Condensed Milk, Vanilla and Salt
In a large bowl, use a spatula to combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and salt.
Step 2: Whip the Heavy Cream
In a separate large bowl, using a whisk or a hand mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Step 3: Pour in the Condensed Milk Mixture
Once soft peaks form, pour the sweetened condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream. Whisk again until stiff peaks reform.
Make sure not to over whisk. Stop as soon as you get a stiff peak.
Step 4: Fold in the Sprinkles
Using a spatula, slowly stir in the sprinkles until all combined.
Step 5: Top with Extra Sprinkles and Freeze
Using the spatula, scoop the ice cream into a 9 x 5 loaf pan or a freezer safe ice cream container and smooth the top using the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle an extra tablespoon of rainbow sprinkles over the top.
Expert Tips
- Fold In The Sprinkles- Use a spatula when folding in the sprinkles. If you use the whisk it will break the sprinkles apart.
- Let it Freeze Overnight- No churn ice cream is simple to make but very soft. It really does need to freeze overnight otherwise it will be a soupy mess within a minute of taking it out of the freezer.
Recipe FAQs
Yes. It needs about 6-7 hours to freeze.
No churn ice cream is super soft and needs a long time to solidify.
If you don’t freeze it overnight, it will be a soupy mess within minutes of being on your counter.
This recipe makes about 1.5 quarts or 6 cups of ice cream.
This is not sponsored but the brand silk makes one. It says it’s gluten free but I don’t see a certified label, so I would look into that if you have celiac.
As for allergens, it does contain coconut, sunflower and faba bean protein.
Store the ice cream in a 9 x 5 loaf pan or in an airtight ice cream container.
If using a loaf pan, cover the top with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
These are my favorite air tight freezer safe ice cream containers.
