4th of July Ice Cream

Ingredients -

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
½ of a 3 oz package of vanilla pudding mix
1 box white cake mix + ingredients to make
Red and blue food coloring
Red, white and blue sprinkles

Instructions -

1. Make your cake mix according to package instructions.

2. Divide into 3 bowls. Color one red, one blue and leave the last white.

3. Pour into a cupcake pan and bake according to instructions.

4. Allow cupcakes to fully cool and crumble them.

5. In a bowl, pour 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks begin to form.

(A mixer is totally useful for this, but you can do it by hand if you don’t have one!)

6. In a separate bowl, pour in 1 can sweetened condensed milk.

7. Add 1 tbsp vanilla and the vanilla pudding. Mix well.

8. Add in about 1 cupcake each red, white and blue. Stir to mix.

9. Pour in some sprinkles.

10. Combine your red, white and blue mix to your whipped cream. Fold in the patriotic mix carefully to keep your cream nice and whipped.

11. In a metal loaf pan, pour about half of the mixture.

12. Layer the top with crumbled cupcakes and pour the remaining ice cream mixture on top.

13. Crumble one last time with cupcake crumbles and sprinkle with sprinkles.

14. Cover with press and seal or plastic wrap and freeze for 24 hours.
