Rainbow Ice Cream Pops
Rainbow Week is sadly just about done. I have one more fun recipe for you…Rainbow Ice Cream! I first shared the recipe a couple years along with the Rainbow Cupcakes. It’s such a fun idea, I wanted to bring it back again, but this time I created Rainbow Ice Cream Pops!
How fun are these? And…you guessed it! They are easy!
These Rainbow Ice Cream Pops are perfect for birthday parties or your St. Patrick’s Day Celebration…even a special after school treat! Let’s get started…
All you need are 2 ingredients for the Rainbow Ice Cream…Vanilla Ice Cream and Jell-O.
- Remove Ice Cream from the freezer and soften for 10 – 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons DRY Grape Jello in a plastic container
- Divide Ice Cream into 5 equal parts, spread ice cream over jello {it’s okay if the ice cream is lumpy, I used a spoon that I ran under hot water to help spread it}
- Repeat with remaining DRY Jell-O and ice cream
- Cover and place in freezer overnight or several hours
Run hot water on outside of container to loosen Ice Cream, and turn out onto wax paper lined cookie sheet.
Using a small cookie dough scoop, scoop the Rainbow Ice Cream into a mini muffin pan. I found it easiest this way so that the Ice Cream doesn’t spread. Pop them into the freezer for 5-10 minutes, pull them out and add the popsicle stick, then back into the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Now it’s time to coat them with chocolate. Melt chocolate chips with oil in the microwave, start with 20 seconds, and stir every 5 – 10 seconds until completely melted. Let set on the counter for about 15 minutes until room temperature, this is important because if the chocolate is too hot it will melt the Ice Cream.
Remove the pops from the pan, use a knife if necessary, dip in chocolate and let excess drip off, immediately add Rainbow Jimmie Sprinkles. Place back in freezer on wax or parchment paper.
I displayed the Rainbow Ice Cream Pops in jars filled with colored sand, available at Michael’s. The Printable Lucky Flags are from Cupcake Chronicles Newsletter and can be found on the Printables Archive page.
