Ingredients
- 2 cups very cold heavy whipping cream
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, cold
- 2 teaspoons cotton candy flavoring
- Food coloring in pink and blue optional
Instructions
- Place a loaf pan or freezer-safe container in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before starting.
- Place a large mixing bowl and whisk or whisk attachment in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Make sure the 2 cups heavy whipping cream and 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk are very cold.
- Pour the 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the 14-ounce can of cold sweetened condensed milk and 2 teaspoons cotton candy flavoring until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the condensed milk mixture to the whipped cream. Gently fold with a spatula after each addition until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix so the whipped cream stays light and fluffy.
- Divide the mixture evenly between 2 bowls.
- Add pink food coloring to one bowl and blue food coloring to the other. Stir gently until each mixture reaches the desired color.
- Remove the chilled loaf pan or freezer-safe container from the freezer. Drop spoonfuls of the pink and blue ice cream mixtures into the container, alternating the colors as desired.
- Gently swirl the two colors together with a knife or spatula for a cotton-candy effect. Do not over-swirl.
- Cover the container tightly and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until completely firm.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if it is too firm.
- Serve topped with cotton candy, if desired.
