Lucky Charms Ice Cream
Homemade Lucky Charms Ice Cream is a magically delicious dessert that is easily made right in your own kitchen. No ice cream maker needed, just an electric mixer with a whisk attachment.
This no churn ice cream has a sweet base and a consistency similar to soft serve ice cream. The addition of Lucky Charms makes for a fun surprise in every bite.
Make a big batch for parties and delight guests with their favorite breakfast cereal served in a totally unique way! This recipe is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or as a springtime treat!
How to Make Lucky Charms Ice Cream
- Using a large bowl and an electric mixer, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Use a whisk attachment to whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- Slowly add in the sweetened condensed milk and salt, adjusting the speed to medium. Beat the mixture until just combined.
- Now gently fold in the Lucky Charms cereal and marshmallows. Transfer the mixture to a freezer safe container.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 8 hours. We like to just go ahead and freeze it overnight.
- Once frozen you can scoop it into waffle cones or your favorite ice cream bowls. Garnish with extra Lucky Charms and enjoy!
Tips and Variations
- This recipe is very easily doubled or tripled to use for a crowd or at parties.
- You don’t have to use a loaf pan, you can use any metal pan you have. DO be careful when scooping the ice cream so you don’t scratch and damage your metal pans.
- This particular type of ice cream won’t freeze super hard. It has more of a soft serve consistency so it’s best to keep in the freezer until just before serving so that it doesn’t melt too quickly.
- You could try this with other cereal flavors as well.
- Add a dash of food coloring to the ice cream for a more colorful treat.
Storage
Storage: Store this ice cream in a freezer safe container for up to 2 months. The Lucky Charms cereal pieces do tend to get a little soggy after a bit so if you want to just use the marshmallows in the actual ice cream and garnish with the cereal when serving you can choose to do that instead.
