This No‑Churn Skittles Ice Cream is a delectably creamy dessert bursting with fruity candy flavor. Whip chilled heavy cream to firm peaks, gently fold in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt, then swirl in melted Skittles syrup made by gently heating your chosen Skittles in water until fully dissolved. Freeze the mixture until solid for a vibrant, scoopable treat that truly lets you “taste the rainbow” with every bite.
Ingredients
-
2 cups heavy cream, chilled
-
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
About 1–2 cups Skittles candies
-
For Skittles syrup: Skittles + ½ cup water
Directions
Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks (about 2 minutes on medium-high).
Blend base: In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold the whipped cream into this mixture until well combined.
Create Skittles swirl: In a small saucepan, gently heat Skittles with about ½ cup water until fully melted and syrup forms (add more water if needed). Let cool slightly.
Incorporate candy: Stir the melted Skittles syrup into the ice cream base, folding until swirled evenly.
Freeze to set: Pour the mixture into a metal or loaf pan and freeze for at least 4 hours, until firm.
Serve with flair: Scoop into bowls, optionally topping with more Skittles for added crunch and color.
Recipe Note
10 FAQs About No-Churn Skittles Ice Cream
Can I use any Skittles flavor?
Yes! Choose a single color for consistent flavor, or mix for a fruity fusion—but be wary that mixing all colors may result in a muted hue.
Is this recipe truly no-churn?
Yes—no ice cream maker is required. The whipped cream base ensures a smooth, scoopable texture.
How long does it keep in the freezer?
Best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks to avoid freezer burn, though still safe for longer storage.
Can I use light cream instead of heavy?
Heavy cream is best for stability. Light cream may not whip properly, affecting texture.
Can I make a vegan version?
Substitute dairy-free whipping cream and condensed milk alternatives—but note texture and flavor may vary.
Will the Skittles texture remain in the ice cream?
The stove-melted Skittles syrup creates a smooth swirl—remaining candies would harden, so syrup gives the best consistency.
Any tips for colorful presentation?
Use Wild Berry Skittles (reds, pinks, purples) for a pretty pink swirl—or separate colors for layered rainbow effects.
Can I add mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips?
Sure! Gently fold in extras before freezing, but keep proportions moderate to preserve flavor harmony.
How to scoop easily?
Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping, or run your scooper under warm water for smoother scoops.
What’s the difference from regular churned ice cream?
No-churn recipes rely on whipped cream rather than custard and churning—making it simpler, quicker, and equally creamy.
