Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kool Aid (any flavor)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of Kool Aid (any flavor), 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of heavy cream, and 1 cup of milk.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of Kool Aid and 1 cup of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved in the Kool Aid. This may take a minute or two.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, add the 2 cups of heavy cream to the mixture. Use a whisk or an electric mixer on low speed to blend the ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Next, pour in 1 cup of milk and continue to mix until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- After mixing, taste the mixture. If you desire a sweeter flavor, you can add a little more sugar at this point, mixing until dissolved.
- Once you are satisfied with the flavor and consistency, transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to churn the mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, until it reaches your desired firmness.
- Once the ice cream is ready, scoop it into bowls or cones and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Kool Aid Ice Cream!
Tips
- Flavor Selection: Choose a Kool Aid flavor that excites you! From classic cherry to tropical punch, each flavor will create a unique ice cream experience.
- Sugar Dissolution: Take your time when mixing sugar with Kool Aid. Ensure it's completely dissolved to prevent grainy texture.
- Chilling is Key: For the smoothest consistency, chill your mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before churning.
- No Ice Cream Maker? No Problem! The freezer method works great - just remember to stir frequently to break up ice crystals.
- Serve Immediately: This ice cream is best enjoyed fresh. If storing, cover tightly and consume within 2-3 days for optimal flavor and texture.
- Fun Variations: Try adding mix-ins like crushed cookies, chocolate chips, or sprinkles for extra excitement!
