Skittles
Skittles are chewy, fruity sweet and they are utterly delicious.
I used the classic Skittles the ones that come in red packets but you can use any flavour of Skittles you want too.
For this recipe, I used 2 share bags of Skittles, however, if you want to add more Skittles you could add another share bag to the mixture.
The Skittles leave a rainbow colour trail in the vanilla ice cream which I absolutely love.

No-churn
So this is a no-churn ice cream recipe, which means that you don’t need an ice cream maker to make it.
The ice cream is made from two base ingredients, double cream and condensed milk which are whisked together until they form soft peaks.
The double cream and condensed milk together make for a very creamy and light ice cream mixture.
To this I also added vanilla extract, I use Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract. There are so many different brands of Vanilla Extract out there and Vanilla Bena Paste would also work perfectly in this recipe. Just ensure that it is an extract you use and not a vanilla flavouring.
Ice Cream Tub
You can use any freezer-safe tub you have for this ice cream. I use my 2lb loaf tin, but an old, clean ice cream container will work or a freezer-safe Tupperware container.
Freezing
Of course, this ice cream does need to be frozen.
Once you have the ice cream in the container, make sure you put the lid on it and pop it into the freezer.
If your container doesn’t have a lid or you are using a loaf tin to store the ice cream. Wrap it twice in cling film before putting it into the freezer.
Alternatives
I used two Skittles share bags in this recipe but you can add an extra share bag if you want extra Skittles.
I also used the classic Skittles in the red packet but you can use any flavour of Skittles you want.
