How to Make No-Churn Ice Cream in Easy-to-Follow Steps

1. Beat the heavy cream using a hand-held or stand mixer. A stand mixer can be a lot easier because you can whip the heavy cream at a higher speed with a quality stand mixer. We really love our Kitchenaid Pro-line stand mixer.
2. Fold in condensed milk and flavoring.
3. Divide ice cream into three bowls and add food coloring to two of the bowls and fold in blue and red food coloring into two of the bowls.
   
4. Scoop by spoonfuls (alternating colors) into a freezer safe pan or container. Then, continue scooping until all the ice cream is added to the pan. 
5. Lift pan and tap gently on counter-top to release air-bubbles. Next, cover and freeze for 5-6 hours.
