Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup cotton candy, finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Whipped cream and additional cotton candy for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare your cotton candy by using a cotton candy machine or purchasing pre-made cotton candy. Finely chop it for better mixing.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold in chopped cotton candy.
  3. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.

Notes

  • Allow ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature before serving to facilitate scooping.
  • Customize flavors by adding syrups or extracts such as strawberry or bubblegum.
