Whip on high until stiff peaks form.<\/p>\n<p> Gently fold in sweetened condensed milk using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.<\/p>\n<p> Divide the mixture evenly among 3 bowls. Add neon blue food coloring to one bowl, neon purple to another, and neon pink to the third. Stir each until the color is evenly distributed.<\/p>\n<p> Layer the colored ice cream bases into the chilled pan, spooning a few dollops of each color at a time. Don\u2019t worry about being precise\u2014imperfect layers add to the fun, mermaid-inspired look!<\/p>\n<p> Once all the mixture is in the pan, use a skewer or butter knife to swirl the colors slightly (avoid over-mixing, as this can turn the ice cream muddy).<\/p>\n<p> Sprinkle a handful of assorted sprinkles over the top, then cover lightly with plastic wrap. Freeze overnight until firm.<\/p>\n<p> When ready to serve, scoop the ice cream into individual glasses and top with extra sprinkles for a playful finish.<\/p>\n<p> The result is a creamy, colorful treat that\u2019s sure to delight both kids and adults\u2014no fancy techniques required!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mermaid Ice Cream This vibrant, whimsical frozen dessert is surprisingly easy to make, requiring just 20 minutes of hands-on prep time and yielding 6 servings.
