Sometimes you just need something a little wild and crazy like Unicorn Ice Cream to make you smile! Ps. this is Unicorn Ice Cream is a No Churn Ice Cream!
I have a few recipes that I really want to post for y’all like chili cheese dip with mozzarella biscuit bombs, cheese straws and stir fry but I just needed to post something cheerful and happy to brighten my day so those will have to wait. Today is going to be all about Unicorn Ice Cream! Why Unicorn Ice Cream? Because I’m an adult and if I want to make and write about Unicorn Ice Cream, I can. haha Right now this Unicorn ice cream is making me smile so that’s what I want to share with y’all today.
That made sense right? Adulthood = Unicorn Ice Cream. hahaha
Ok, well it sounded better in my head. However, I’m going to need you to work with me here. I’m running on little sleep and pain pills and I’m praying that this post makes some kind of sense. 😉
Yesterday I had my procedure down in NC for my kidney stone and we’re all crossing our fingers that this will take care of it. I really hope that I’ll be back to feeling normal soon. We were there for hours, we got there about 7:15am and I think that we were finally on the way home about 2pm or 2:30pm. Thomas brought me home, drugged up and sleepy but thanks to the construction workers outside our apartment building I got no rest. Every time I fell asleep I was scared awake by the workers yelling outside or turning on another piece of equipment. I know that the world doesn’t revolve around me haha but yesterday was definitely one of those days where I wanted to at least pretend that it did and yell at them. Well, I mean I didn’t yell at them or throw anything in their general direction but oh how I wanted to. Today I’m doing a little better, it actually feels good to sit on the couch. The pain is still there but hopefully it’ll start to ease up a bit, right now I literally feel like a truck plowed into my side and back. ouch!
So you know how much I want this pain to go away right? Well how about the main reason I want all of this to go away is so that I can go back to eating super low carb again? haha I never thought the day would come when I was actually upset that I was having to eat pasta and bread.
Before this Kidney stone, (about 4 weeks ago) I had been doing great with eating low carb. I had more energy, I wasn’t bloated, my tummy felt great and I was loosing weight. Then when I got the Kidney stone, I had to start eating breads and such again because of the pain pills. Now maybe my tummy is just weird but if I try to eat low carb while I’m taking these strong pain pills I get sick.
However, if I eat pasta or bread before I take the pills I don’t get as sick. So I’ve been adding more carbs to my diet and I have to admit that it’s actually depressing me. I use to be in LOVE with carbs and now I’m actually looking forward to getting back into my low carb routine!
Seriously….who am I?
So I needed something to take my mind off the fact that I WAS loosing weight before this stupid kidney stone, the fact my my back and side feels like I got run over by a truck and the fact that I really should be sleeping right now instead of trying to write a blog post. I made and photographed this ice cream like a month ago, so don’t worry, I’m not actually in the kitchen working on stuff today, the only time I’ve been in the kitchen today was when I was reheating the mac and cheese Thomas made for me. 😉
However, sharing this ice cream is what’s taking my mind off of all of the stuff going on with me 🙂 Just looking at the colors makes me smile and I hope that it brings a smile to your face too.
Ps. You can find rainbow sprinkles like I used here on amazon but I’m sure that they have them at your local grocery store or hobby/craft store too.

I was wondering what flavor it is but it looks like vanilla from the ingredients ,correct? If that’s the case Levi would love it too!! Hahaha! He loves vanilla with a ton of sprinkles!

This is just such a fun idea. My little niece and nephews are coming to visit and I know they would absolutely love this! Looks like we have a project! Thanks for the inspiration!
Nutmeg Nanny says
May 27, 2016 at 9:12 amThis ice cream is so fun! You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy fun colored ice cream 🙂 I’m happy to hear you are home resting. My husband had major kidney stone surgery last year so I know how horrible it can be!
Kirsten / Comfortably Domestic says
May 27, 2016 at 11:04 amHow fun are the colors and sprinkles in this ice cream?! Here I was thinking you were going to say that the pain meds were making you see unicorns that told you to make this ice cream. I sure hope that you feel better soon. Kidney stones are jerks.
Stephanie says
May 27, 2016 at 11:46 amMy kids are hovering around my computer begging to make this ice cream! Love all the colors, you did such a great job. Hope you feel much better soon!

May 27, 2016 at 8:27 pmI literally can’t get over the color/colors of your unicorn ice cream. I think I’m going to crown you the queen of the no- churn ice cream. You rock, Angie!
Isabelle @ Crumb says
May 28, 2016 at 8:59 amThis ice cream looks so fun and happy. Totally the kind of thing to cheer someone up when they’re down. I hope you still have some in your freezer… Nothing like ice cream and sprinkles to make everything better.
PS: Sending you lots of get well soon vibes! <3

Angie says
May 31, 2016 at 9:35 amI’ll have to remember that next time. I bet that would help with taking my pain medication! Yikes and sorry to hear about all the surgeries but I’m glad that you’re better now!
Kim Beaulieu says
May 28, 2016 at 5:55 pmHope you’re feeling ship-shape again Angie. B had a kidney stone too, it’s wicked painful. Hopefully you’re getting lots of rest and taking it easy.
This ice cream is too adorable for words. I love ice cream. And unicorns. So I’m all in on this one.
Angie says
May 31, 2016 at 9:30 amI’ve been getting rest, thankfully! I’m back to work this week and feeling so much better! We even got my niece this past weekend and I only had a little bit of pain.
YAY! I’m so glad that you liked the ice cream!
Lori @ RecipeGirl says
May 29, 2016 at 10:34 amThis is an adorable ice cream flavor idea- who wouldn’t LOVE Unicorn Ice Cream??? So cute.
Also, I had gallstones (so many that they took out my gallbladder), and I have had kidney stones twice. No surgery… just had to wait for them to pass while you feel like you’re going to DIE. So I know what you’re going through!! Hope you are feeling better now and you don’t get any more!
Angie says
May 31, 2016 at 9:26 amooo I’ve heard that gallstones are terrible. I don’t have any of those right now but they’re keeping an eye on it because the x-ray and CT scan showed some issues. Oh and YES! haha Kidney stones are the devil! They’re awful. I still have two in my right kidney but they haven’t dropped so they’re not hurting me…. yet..
Serene @ House of Yumm says
May 29, 2016 at 8:57 pmThis is so fun!!! My kids would love to make this during the summer!!
Angie says
May 31, 2016 at 9:21 amhaha Perfect! Hope they love it!
Renee - Kudos Kitchen says
May 31, 2016 at 8:52 amI sure do hope you start feeling better soon. I’ve never had kidney stones but I hear they’re the worst when it comes to pain. Plus I’ve never heard that carbs are a good thing when it comes to pain meds. I guess it makes sense when I think about it. I hope you can cut those suckers out of your diet soon and get back on your low-carb eating plan.
Your ice cream is SO much fun. The colors you’ve achieved are amazing!
Angie says
May 31, 2016 at 9:20 amhaha well I don’t know if carb carbs are good for pain meds, but when I take them I need something like rice, bread or pasta….something along those lines or I get really sick. It’s like I need the starchy foods to help absorb it haha. Thanks for the color comment haha I thought neon colors would be perfect for this!!!

Cassandra bernard says
March 14, 2017 at 3:53 amJust wondering how many servings this recipe would make? Sorry if I was there and I missed it. Doing my daughters 7th birthday and we are super excited to try unicorn stuff ( especially ? ? ? )
Thanks so much and hope your recovering well!!!
Angie says
March 14, 2017 at 11:20 amIt makes 1 loaf pan of ice cream. Servings will all depend on how much ice cream you consider a servings. haha 🙂 Mmmm I’m gonna say 10 servings.
Jessica says
April 10, 2017 at 4:34 pmHas anyone used a disposable foil pan to make this in? It looks so yummy and my daughter may decide on a unicorn party this year 🙂
Angie says
April 13, 2017 at 11:52 amI haven’t used a disposable foil pan to make the ice cream but I’m sure if would work fine 🙂
Kayleigh | Whisks & Wooden Spoons says
May 9, 2017 at 8:22 pmMy kids would love this! The brighter the ice cream, the better, for some reason.
Sabrina says
June 10, 2017 at 10:29 amNice recipe! Love no churn, just aw this on foodie crush with some others and hadn’t known anything about this technique – love unicorns so thank you for this and hope that at least by now you’re feeling much better!
Kerri says
May 11, 2018 at 4:54 pmCan you please explain a bit more how to get the mixture into the pan? Do you place it on top of one another until pan fills?
Angie says
May 14, 2018 at 9:17 amHey Kerri,
You just spoon the mixture into the pan in spoonfuls, alternating spoonfuls of colors until the pan is full.
rose says
July 10, 2018 at 6:12 pmLove the colors! I’m wondering, what brand neon food coloring you used?
Angie says
July 10, 2018 at 7:17 pmI have used both Wilton Gel Food Color and McCormick Neon Food Color for this ice cream. I like both but I think I like the Wilton gell better because you don’t need as much to get the bright colors.
rose says
July 11, 2018 at 1:37 pmThat helps a lot! Thank you so much for letting me know!
