Directions:
In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, add the heavy cream, and whip until thick, and stiff peaks have formed.
Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla and cotton candy extract and blend until smooth and creamy.
Divide the ice cream mixture into separate bowls and drop 2-3 drops of pink food coloring gel in one bowl, and 2-3 drops of the blue food coloring gel in the other bowl.
Add a handful of pink cotton candy to the pink bowl, and a handful of blue cotton candy to the blue bowl, and stir until it dissolves.

I sure hope you enjoy making your own cotton candy ice cream!
Things to note:
- Use gel food coloring since it is easier to mix and will give a more vibrant color.
- You don’t have to make the ice cream different colors if you don’t want to. If you want one solid color, just skip the step that makes you divide mixture.
- If you don’t want the ice cream too sweet, you can skip the cotton candy artificial flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an air-tight container.
