This Cotton Candy Ice Cream will take you back to your childhood.
This is a no-churn ice cream recipe. That means that you can make this ice cream without an ice cream maker.
In a small bowl or container, stir together the granulated sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of the guar gum. A little goes a long way. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the cream. The mixture will thicken and create something resembling the soft peak stage of meringue.
In a large bowl, whisk the heavy cream until still peaks form. You can do this with an electric mixer (recommended) or by using a whisk. Pro tip: refrigerate the bowl and whisk for one hour prior to using.
Gradually fold the sweetened condensed milk into the heavy cream.
While whisking, add the guar gum mixture to the heavy cream base.
