We’re expanding our macaron projects to a whole new level with this simple and easy Homemade Macaron Ice Cream recipe!
Since this past Friday was National Macaron Day (and I MISSED IT?!), I figured I should make it up to myself today instead.
After all, I don’t want to be the self-proclaimed macaron fanatic. And then go down in history as the girl who didn’t know when National Macaron Day was.
Anyways, I’m trying to save some face with this Homemade Macaron Ice Cream recipe. And it’s either working out reallllly well.
Or I’m still sugar high from yesterday?
Okay, but in all seriousness, this is one of the most delicious ice cream recipes I’ve ever made, National Macaron Day or not!
Ingredients and Tools Needed to Make Homemade Macaron Ice Cream
Heavy whipping cream
Half and half
Sugar
Vanilla extract
Crushed macarons in the flavors of your choice – you can make it at home with this delicious recipe
Sprinkles
Ice cream maker — I used this one. (It’s SUPER easy.)
Airtight ice cream container — Optional
How to Make Homemade Macaron Ice Cream
Step 1 — First, mix the half and half heavy cream, vanilla, and sugar in a large bowl until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 2 — Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and let it mix for about 10 minutes until it thickens just a bit.
Step 3 — And then add in the macaron crumbles.
Note that the darker/more vibrant color of the macarons you use, the more it will alter the color of the ice cream.
We used mostly pastels and one red, which is why it has a slight pink tint to the ice cream.
Step 4 — Toss in a few sprinkles just before you’re finished mixing the ice cream.
Step 5 — Then, pour it into an airtight ice cream container and let it sit in the freezer for about an hour or two to fully harden.
Now all you have to do is scoop and serve. And maybe even add an extra mac on top as a garnish!
It’s easy to make, plus you’ll know that it’s healthy since it’s homemade, just like one of my favorite homemade vanilla puddings.
What do you guys think? Is this not super cute and delicious, or what?! It’s two of my all-time favorite things together, and I think I’m in love!
