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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or tub. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 5-6 hours or until firm.
- 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.
