Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender except food coloring and blend for about 1 minute to help incorporate air into the mixture.
  • Divide the mixture into 3-4 bowls, depending on your color preferences. Add food coloring to create blue, purple, green and pink mixture.
  • Pour mixtures into a bread loaf pan or plastic container.  It helps to tilt the pan, add about half of one color, then about half of another color, continuing to layer the colors in blobs.
  • Once all the ice cream mixture is in the pan, gently swirl with a knife, being careful not to overmix the colors.
  • Freeze overnight or for at least 4 hours.  Thaw on the counter for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

I topped my ice cream with these pearly sprinkles!
Keep things paleo by using grass fed protein powders and skipping the sprinkles and vodka.
You can also color/flavor your ice cream using fruit puree.  I actually used some leftover raspberry puree to color the pink you see here.  Here's how you can do it yourself:
  • Pink - Boil 1/3 cup raspberries with a touch of maple syrup for 10-15 minutes.  Mash raspberries and strain seeds out.  Mix into 1/4 of ice cream mix.
  • Purple - 1/3 cup blueberries, same method as above except instead of straining, just add the blueberry mash to blender with 1/4 of the ice cream mix.
  • Green - Blend a handful of spinach with 1/4 of the ice cream mix.
  • Blue - It's hard to get that color easily with fruit puree, though you could use some blue spirulina - but I recommend just using food coloring for this one.
