Marshmallow Cotton Candy Ice Cream

I admit it, I'm on bit of a no-churn ice cream craze. It's just so easy and yummy! I've been loving the unicorn craze and wanted to create something magical, but not overly bright. I asked many of my friends what a unicorn magical ice cream would taste like. They answered in various forms of fruity and marshmallow.. something light and sweet. 

I came up with a double marshmallow cotton candy flavored ice cream. The ice cream is flavored with three different types of cotton candy floss sugar, a layer of homemade marshmallow creme and ooddles of fruity mini marshmallows. It's a bit of soft, sweet heaven.

Cotton Candy Floss

Cotton candy floss comes in various delicious flavors. It gave the ice cream a soft rainbow hue and fruity flavor. I used cherry, grape and blue raspberry in this ice cream. I purchased it off Amazon here. but I have seen it for sale at local restaurant supply stores as well.

Marshmallow Creme

I really wanted to try my hand at making marshmallow creme instead of purchasing it at the store. I found a delicious recipe at Eating On A Dime. It is incredibly easy to make, I doubt I would buy it again. So delicious and yummy! I placed scoops of it layered in the ice cream - you will love it's softness, but it doesn't freeze hard, so be ready to gobble it down.

Yum

Ingredients:

1 cup marshmallow creme 

2 tbsp. cotton candy floss flavoring in: cherry, grape and blue raspberry

2 cups heavy cream

14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
