Peeps Easter Ice Cream
Delicious Peeps Easter ice cream is a great treat for Easter Sunday. Make this a day ahead to serve up in bowls or on cones. The kids and adults will love this ice cream!
This peeps ice cream is super easy to make. You need either a stand mixer or a hand beater. Note though that a hand beater will take longer than the stand mixer.
The first step is to use heavy whipping cream to make whipped topping. This is going to be the main fluff to the ice cream as the base.
The Flavor
Next up it’s time to add the sweetness. Adding just one can of sweetened condensed milk, folding it in with a spatula not to lose too much fluff of the whipped topping. Add vanilla flavoring or any other flavoring extract you desire.
Next we are going to separate some of the ice cream into two bowls. Then mix in pink food gel and yellow food gel.
Mix these with a spoon and set aside. The dyed ice cream will later be mixed in with the remaining white ice cream.
Cut the peeps marshmallows into small bites size pieces. I like to use all the different colors but you surely don’t have to. I think it makes it more Easter fun when it has more color.
Add marshmallow candy to the ice cream pan as you layer in the white ice cream. The Peeps need to be some on bottom, middle, and top.
I use OXO’s brownie 9×9 pan to place the white ice cream into it. Then swirl in the pink ice cream. Don’t over swirl or you will lose the white ice cream.
Covering The Ice Cream
Swirl in the yellow ice cream into the pink and marshmallow mixture. This is going to give you one colorful Peeps Easter ice cream. Cover it with plastic wrap and place in the freeze.
Freeze the mixture for 24 hours for best results. I like to serve it up on waffles cones for kids. Such a fun Easter Sunday treat. Perfect because it’s a make ahead dessert.
It’s also a great way to use up those leftover peeps marshmallow candies. I love recipes that use up the leftover candy. Check out a few more Easter recipes below.
