How to make homemade ice cream:

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or use a glass pan. 

Mix ice cream, cotton candy, heavy cream, LorAnn Cotton Candy Flavor in a large bowl until well blended. Add a drop of food coloring to desired color. (optional)

Pour mixture into a container and smooth the top.

Place a sheet of parchment paper on the surface and press out air bubbles (stops icicles forming). 

Cover with lid, freeze 4+ hours or until desired hardness. 

Remove from freezer, remove paper. Scoop with ice cream scoop and serve in bowls or cones. 

Do I need to add coloring to this recipe?

I think the coloring is fun and festive but you definitely don’t need it. It’s not going to impact the flavoring or the consistency of the ice cream.

Feel free to skip the coloring if you don’t want to add it! If you want to get fancy you can definitely make a swirled color by separating the batch and the combine the two colors and swirl before freezing!
