Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup orange food coloring
- 1/4 cup black licorice extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, pour in the 2 cups of heavy cream.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until it forms soft peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Once the cream has reached the desired consistency, gently fold in the can of sweetened condensed milk. Use a spatula to combine, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Divide the mixture into two separate bowls. In the first bowl, add 1/2 cup of orange food coloring. Stir well until the color is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- In the second bowl, add 1/4 cup of black licorice extract. Mix thoroughly to ensure the licorice flavor is well incorporated.
- Now, it’s time to create the tiger tail effect. In a freezer-safe container, spoon alternating layers of the orange and black mixtures. Start with a layer of orange, then add a layer of black, and continue this process until all the mixtures are used up.
- Once all the ice cream mixture is layered in the container, use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the two colors together. Be careful not to overmix; you want to maintain the distinct orange and black stripes.
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the ice cream to freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until it is firm enough to scoop.
- After the ice cream has fully frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. This will make it easier to serve.
- Serve the Tiger Tail No Churn Ice Cream in bowls or cones, and enjoy this uniquely Canadian treat!
Tips
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk beforehand for extra-fluffy whipped cream
- Use gel food coloring for more vibrant, consistent color
- Don't overmix when creating the swirl—gentle strokes maintain the tiger stripe effect
- For best texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before scooping
- Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent ice crystals
- For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle some chocolate sauce or sprinkle crushed licorice on top when serving
