Ingredients
Instructions
- Chill the large can of Carnation or Pet milk overnight.
- Whip the chilled milk until frothy.
- Add the Cool Whip to the whipped milk and fold together.
- Add sugar to the fruit or berries to sweeten to taste.
- Fold the sweetened fruit into the whipped mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.
- Stir the mixture well before it completely freezes.
- Freeze the mixture for several hours until firm.
- Remove from freezer at least one hour before serving and serve when slightly soft.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure the Cool Whip is fully incorporated without overmixing. You can substitute the fruit with seasonal options like peaches or cherries, or even use a mix of frozen berries if fresh ones aren't available. Adjust sweetness to your preference, and for a vegan version, try coconut whipped cream instead of Cool Whip.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful ice cream in bowls or cones. It pairs wonderfully with fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside Mandarin Oranges With Ginger for a refreshing contrast. It's perfect for summer gatherings or as a light dessert after hearty meals.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain the best texture, avoid refreezing multiple times. If frozen solid, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften before scooping. It can last 1-2 weeks if stored properly.
