How To Make
Start by grabbing a stand mixer or hand mixer and whip your heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks.
You will know it is stiff peaks when you lift up the whisk and the cream holds to it like pictured here.
Pour in your condensed milk and fold it in gently. You can toss in your vanilla extract as well. Fold it in until it is incorporating.
If you mix too hard you will deflate your whipping cream.
Split your mixture into two bowls. In one bowl you will add a few drops of pink food coloring to. Give it a good mix until the pink is stirred in.
Slowly add dollops of each color in your pan. Mixing it up a bit. This is going to give it a stunning color when you spoon it up.
When you have put about half in, top with some crushed cookies, and then finish piling on the rest of the ice cream filling.
Top with sprinkles and more crumbled cookies. Freeze for at least 6 hours, I froze for a full 24 hours.
