Sunset Sherbert Ice Cream

I am drowning
Somebody help me
I am too weak to swim for shore

Going under
I am breathless
Come now, I am losing this war

The storm is raging
The waves are crashing
The tides are tossing me around

The water’s rising…
… and my heart is sinking
Oh, I’m not making a sound

On a teal sky, the sun sets down

Or maybe I just have gas.

• Instructions:
• 1. Ice Cream Base Preparation:
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
• Pour the mixture into four separate containers, roughly 1 quart each.
• 2. Flavoring and Coloring:
• In the first container, add orange food coloring and orange extract or zest to taste. Mix until you achieve the desired orange color and flavor.
• In the second container, add red food coloring and strawberry extract or pureed strawberries to taste. Mix until you achieve the desired red color and strawberry flavor.
• In the third container, add blue food coloring and blueberry extract or blueberry puree to taste. Mix until you achieve the desired blue color and blueberry flavor.
• In the fourth container, add green food coloring and kiwi extract or kiwi puree to taste. Mix until you achieve the desired green color and kiwi flavor.
• 3. Layering the Ice Cream:
• Take a 1-gallon bucket or container and begin by pouring one flavor (e.g., orange) into the bottom of the bucket, covering the entire bottom evenly.
• Carefully pour the next flavor (e.g., red) into the center of the orange layer. The orange layer should still be visible around the edges.
• Repeat this process with the remaining two flavors, pouring each into the center of the previous layer.
• Continue layering until all four flavors are stacked on top of each other, creating a colorful “aurora” effect.
• 4. Freezing:
• Once all layers are added, cover the bucket tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
• Place the bucket in the freezer and allow the ice cream to freeze completely, preferably overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
