Mermaid Ice Cream & Ice Cream Cone
Mermaid food is the new thing! We didn’t want to just make mermaid toast… we new we had to take it to the next level and wanted to do so by creating Mermaid Ice Cream. Not only was this fun but it was absolutely stunning. Nearly too pretty to eat.

Instructions:
Blueberry Coulis:
- In a small pan, combine blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook over
medium-high heat until the blueberries break down, about 8 minutes.
- Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then add to the
blueberry mixture, stirring until combined. Once the raspberry sauce
has thickened slightly about 2 minutes, strain the sauce into another
bowl to remove the seeds.
- Transfer the blueberry sauce to the refrigerator to cool completely.
Once cooled begin making the ice cream base.
Vanilla Blueberry Swirl Ice Cream:
- After vanilla ice cream is made(or store bought) place ice cream in 2
separate bowls. Once softened enough drop green and blue food dye
into the separate bowls and stir.
- Using a freezer safe container scoop blue, blue/green, white ice
cream into the container and repeat.
- Pour your blueberry sauce over the ice cream and using a knife or
spoon swirl in your blueberry. This will give all of the ice cream a
cool effect. Don't over swirl.
- Cover tightly and freeze until hardened, at least 6 hours.
Waffle Cone:
- Preheat a waffle-cone maker according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Start with heat setting #3 and adjust as necessary.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the sugar is
incorporated and the eggs have lightened in color, about 1 minute.
Add the flour mixture and stir until incorporated. Add the butter and
milk and stir just until combined.
- Spilt batter into 2 batches and add food dye.
- Spoon 3 table spoons batter onto the waffle-cone maker. Using a small
offset spatula, spread the batter evenly over the surface. Close the
lid and cook for at least 1 minute before lifting the lid to check
for doneness. Continue cooking until the desired color is reached, 1½
to 2 minutes total on heat setting #4.
- Quickly remove the waffle from the waffle-cone maker and shape it
around the cone roller (included with the waffle-cone maker). Hold
the cone for a few seconds to set its shape. Set the cone on a
parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Using the left over batter take one cone right after you pull it off
the waffle maker and cut it in half. Cut a mermaid tail out.
- Melt white chocolate candy melts in the microwave and use it as glue
to secure the tail of the mermaid cone. Feel free to decorate as much
as you'd like we used white chocolate candy melts and gold sugar!
Vanilla Ice Cream:
- In a large bowl combine the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla
bean extract, set aside.
- Use a mixer, immersion blender or hand whisk the chilled cream until
stiff peaks are formed. About 2-3 minutes on high in a stand mixer,
do not over whip!
- Gently fold in about ⅓ of the whipped cream into the sweetened
condensed milk. Transfer the rest of the whipped cream into the bowl
and gently fold in until the mixture smooths out and become soft and
silky. Stop folding when you see just a few small lumps left, do not
deflate the mixture by over mixing!
