How to make Three-color ice cream – neapolitan ice cream
-
Mix the whipping cream
Put 600ml of chilled whipping cream into the bowl. Use the egg beater at low speed, then gradually switch to high speed, beating until the mixture is soft and fluffy with light streaks.
Next, add 10 tablespoons of condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavor into the cream bowl. Continue using the egg beater to mix the mixture evenly.
At this point, you only need to set the machine to medium speed, avoiding high speed which can make the cream watery and lose its fluffiness.
-
Color the cream
You divide the cream mixture into 3 equal parts and place them in 3 separate bowls.
In the first bowl, you add about 15g of cocoa powder (or chocolate powder) into a sieve to sift it finely, then mix the cream mixture with the cocoa powder to create a brown color.
Similarly, for the second bowl, you also mix 15g of strawberry powder with the cream mixture to create a pink color.
For the third bowl, you keep the cream mixture as it is to maintain the white color.
-
Pour into molds and chill
You pour each type of cream into the container in 3 equal parts in the order of brown, white, and pink, then flatten each layer for smoothness.
Finally, cover it, gently tap the container on the table to flatten the cream surface, and place it in the freezer refrigerator for 4 – 5 hours until the cream is completely frozen and then you can take it out to serve!

What is Neapolitan ice cream?
- Neapolitan ice cream is an Italian ice cream that was introduced in the late 19th century. Initially, this ice cream consisted of three colors: the green of pistachio, the white of vanilla, and the red of cherry, symbolizing the Italian flag.
- Later, Neapolitan ice cream became more popular and began to be imported to the United States under the name Spumoni, featuring three flavors: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.
- The special feature of this ice cream is that the three colors of ice cream are arranged side by side, forming a block without any barriers between the flavors.
