Unicorn Ice Cream

The best unicorn ice cream maker

I have tried several different popsicle and ice cream pop molds over the years and there are just a few that have really wow’ed me! When it comes to making ice cream pops, especially these unicorn ice cream’s you want the ice cream to get super firm and cold. That is why I love these stainless steel molds, they get the ice cream really firm and ready to be turned into magical unicorns.

Where to buy unicorn ice cream

And if you’re already too hot from the summer sun, did you know you can easily purchase unicorn ice cream – even Walmart carries it now. This save a few steps in the process since you can easily just scoop the ice cream into the molds to create custom ice cream pops or just serve it in bowls with the sprinkles on top.

I like to make mine by again using vanilla, strawberry, and cotton candy ice cream. Spread this all out on a cold baking sheet, make sure to swirl the colors around to get fun swirls. Then sprinkle on your favorite glittery sprinkles and candies.

Pop this back in the freezer to harden up and serve together with unicorn ice cream pops!
