Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1, 14 ounces can sweetened condensed milk use coconut in the natural food aisle
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3.5 cups cotton candy divided (I found mine at the dollar tree!! You will use ~¾ of a bag)
  • Pink and purple food coloring

Instructions

  • Pour your heavy whipping cream into a large bowl or stand mixer. Begin to mix on low then slowly increase speed. Mix for ~3 minutes until stiff peaks form and you’ve made whipped cream! 
  • In a separate large bowl combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract and 2 cups of the cotton candy. Mix this super well, the cotton candy will begin to dissolve. You want this to be as dissolved as possible!!!! No large chunks should be present. I find that kind of pressing the cotton candy pieces down with a spatula can really help.
  • Gently fold in your whipped cream to the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Do not stir this vigorously! You don’t want to reduce the air in the whipped cream. Mix this for ~2-3 minutes until totally uniform and no lumps of whipped cream are present.
  • Now, take your ice cream base and divide it into two. Make half of it pink and half of it purple with the food coloring.
  • Take a ~6+ cup container (a loaf pan works well!) and pour ⅓ of your pink mixture then ⅓ of the purple mixture into the bottom of the container. Then take 1⁄2 cup of cotton candy and rip it into small pieces and place it on top. You’re going to then press the cotton candy down into the base then take a knife and draw a “figure 8” to create a swirl. Repeat with the remaining base + cotton candy. When you finish you shouldn’t see any cotton candy pieces and you should have a nice swirl of purple and pink!
  • Place your ice cream into the freezer to harden for 6-8 hours minimum. 
  • Scoop and enjoy!
