Mermaid Ice Cream

Mermaid ice cream is another magical treat to add to your collection.

Just like with the unicorn ice cream, this colorful dessert is extremely easy to make when you need a mermaid dessert.

Homemade Mermaid Ice Cream

Using just a few ingredients, you can make your own ice cream with mermaid-y colors for an under the sea themed party.

The ice cream itself is very sweet and each color has the same flavor.

Part of the magic here is keeping this recipe extremely simple.

You don’t need an ice cream maker or even anything that fancy at all to whip up this homemade ice cream to add to your dessert table.

Planning a themed party is a lot of work.

Keeping a few simple recipes on hand is key to maintaining your sanity.

Make this homemade ice cream the day before or even the morning of your party.

It only takes 4-6 hours to freeze, so prepare the mixture and then work on all your other mermaid desserts while it hardens.

Can you tell I am typically a frazzled, last-minute mess and I am assuming you are too?

In any case, here is a simple ice cream recipe with colors fit for all the merpeople of the land!

Eight-year-old me wants to do an Ariel hair flip in the pool over this ocean swirly goodness.
