Here’s a delicious No-Churn Blue Caribbean Ice Cream recipe inspired by tropical flavors—creamy, refreshing, and easy to make without an ice cream machine!
Blue Caribbean Ice Cream (No-Churn)
🌴 Flavors: Creamy coconut, tangy pineapple, and a hint of citrusy blue curaçao.
🧊 Ingredients:
-
2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
½ cup coconut cream (or full-fat coconut milk for lighter texture)
-
½ cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
-
1–2 tbsp blue curaçao (or substitute: blue raspberry syrup for non-alcoholic)
-
Optional: Shredded coconut, pineapple chunks, or graham cracker crumbs for mix-ins
🍍 Instructions:
-
Whip the cream
-
In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (about 3–4 mins).
-
-
Mix the base
-
In another bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and blue curaçao until smooth.
-
-
Fold together
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until fully combined.
-
Optional: Stir in toasted coconut, diced pineapple, or crushed graham crackers.
-
-
Freeze
-
Pour into a loaf pan or airtight container.
-
Cover with parchment paper (to prevent ice crystals) and freeze for 6+ hours (or overnight).
-
-
Serve!
-
Scoop and enjoy! Garnish with pineapple wedges, coconut flakes, or a cherry.
-
💡 Tips:
-
For a stronger blue color, add a drop of blue food gel (curaçao/syrup alone gives a light aqua tint).
-
Alcohol-free? Use blue raspberry syrup or mix 1 tsp butterfly pea flower powder with coconut milk for a natural blue hue.
-
Texture hack: For extra creaminess, stir halfway through freezing (optional).
