Jell-O Swirl Ice Cream for a Canada Day Dessert

 


Looking for a fun red and white treat for the kids on Canada Day? This Jell-O Swirl Ice Cream is so quick and easy, you’ll be amazed!

 

A few weeks back I saw my friend Elizabeth from Life Love Liz, post a fun a fruity recipe for Jell-O Swirl Ice Cream.

I had never made my own ice cream before and I was super intrigued! It sounded so easy and looked like something the boys would really enjoy both making and eating, I knew we were destined to try it! With Canada Day right around the corner, I was inspired to make a patriotic Red and White version to celebrate the holiday!

1/5 is not a lot, you’ll only need a very thin layer, and don’t worry, you can’t really mess this up. I ended up with only 4 layers of the cream and 3 of the powder and it still worked out to be a good ratio. I sprinkle enough to cover the cream layer, not too think and always have powder left over. If you don’t have the quins, whipped cream and strawberries would make a tasty option as well, and still perfectly red and white!
