Jello Sherbet Ice Cream (Vanilla Base, Multi-Flavor Swirl)


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale

For the vanilla base:

  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Jell-O swirls (choose 1–3 flavors):

  • 2 (3 oz) boxes flavored Jell-O (e.g., strawberry, lime, orange, raspberry)
  • ½ cup boiling water per flavor
  • Optional: 1–2 tbsp fresh fruit juice (e.g., orange or lemon) to enhance fruitiness

Instructions

  1. Make vanilla base:
    • In a large bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
    • In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt.
    • Gently fold whipped cream into condensed milk mixture until smooth and airy.
  2. Prepare Jell-O swirls:
    • For each flavor, dissolve one box of Jell-O in ½ cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Cool 5–10 minutes (do not refrigerate—should be thick but pourable).
    • Optional: Stir in 1–2 tbsp matching fruit juice for brighter flavor.
  3. Layer & swirl:
    • Pour half the vanilla base into a 9×5″ loaf pan or freezer-safe container.
    • Drizzle half of each Jell-O flavor over the base. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl (don’t overmix—you want marbling!).
    • Repeat with remaining vanilla base and Jell-O.
  4. Freeze: Cover and freeze at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. Serve: Let sit at room temperature 5–10 minutes before scooping for soft, creamy texture.
💡 Pro Tips:
– Use different colored Jell-Os for a rainbow effect!
– For extra tang, add 1 tsp citric acid to citrus flavors.
– Keep frozen—this ice cream softens quickly due to the gelatin.
