Red, White, and Blue Moon Neapolitan Ice Cream

This Red, White & Blue Moon Neapolitan combines fresh strawberry, creamy vanilla, and nostalgic Blue Moon ice cream into one colorful frozen treat. Churn each flavor in the InstantChill™ Ice Cream Maker, layer them into classic Neapolitan stripes, and freeze until scoopable for a summer dessert that's ready to celebrate.

INSTRUCTIONS

Make the Strawberry Ice Cream

1. In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the strawberries have released their juices.
2. Mash the strawberry mixture with a potato masher, fork, or pastry cutter until there are no large pieces remaining. For a smoother ice cream, blend the mixture in a blender or food processor.
3. Add the strawberry mixture, heavy whipping cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt directly to the InstantChill™ Mixing Bowl.
4. Select the Ice Cream Program and set for 20 minutes.
5. Optional: When there are 3 minutes remaining, add additional diced strawberries to taste through the Mix-In window on the lid.
6. Once the program is complete, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes, or until firm enough to hold its shape while still soft enough to scoop and spread. 
   

Make the Vanilla Ice Cream

1. Add the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the InstantChill™ Mixing Bowl.
2. Select the Ice Cream Program and set for 20 minutes.
3. Once complete, transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes, or until firm enough to hold its shape while still soft enough to scoop and spread.

Make the Blue Moon Ice Cream

1. Prepare the Blue Moon ice cream according to the recipe above.
2. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes, or until firm enough to hold its shape while still soft enough to scoop and spread.

Assemble the Neapolitan

1. Place the two InstantChill™ paddles upright inside a freezer-safe ice cream container to divide it into three equal sections.
2. Spoon the strawberry ice cream into one section, the vanilla ice cream into the center, and the Blue Moon ice cream into the remaining section.
3. Use the paddles to gently press each flavor down and smooth the sides, creating clean, straight layers between each color.
4. Carefully remove the paddles, leaving three distinct sections of ice cream.
5. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
6. Scoop straight down through all three flavors to serve the classic red, white, and Blue Moon Neapolitan.
