It’s an easy-to-make, no-churn recipe that requires no ice cream maker and comes together in just 10 minutes. Perfect for a fun, colorful dessert that serves six and will brighten up any occasion.


Ingredients

Ice Cream Mixture

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon raspberry extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1-2 drops blue gel food coloring


Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until thickened and forms soft peaks, creating a fluffy base for your ice cream.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, raspberry extract, and lemon extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the fruity and creamy flavors meld beautifully.
  3. Add Color: Add 1 to 2 drops of blue gel food coloring, stirring gently until you achieve your desired shade of vibrant blue, characteristic of Blue Moon ice cream.
  4. Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or tub. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 5-6 hours or until firm.
  5. Serve: Before serving, let the ice cream soften on the counter for 5-10 minutes to allow for easy scooping and enhanced creaminess.

Notes

  • Be sure to use a chilled bowl and beat the cream until soft peaks form for the best texture.
  • Adjust food coloring gradually to get the perfect shade without altering the flavor.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of orange extract if you prefer a more complex Blue Moon profile.
  • Store the ice cream tightly sealed in the freezer to prevent ice crystals and maintain the creamy texture.
  • Letting the ice cream soften slightly before serving results in easier scooping and a creamier mouthfeel.
