Happy 26th birthday! Colorful Fruity Ice Cream Cake for someone who is special. I’ve spent three days to make it – first day, the ice cream; second day, the cake; third day, the decoration. My theme for this cake is “Rainbow” but I get only 50% of my imagination right. I picked the wrong fruits! The colors of orange and pineapple are too similar and blueberries turned brown in the blending process, so I have to throw it away, left only six colors.

How to make Colorful Fruity Ice Cream
For strawberry ice cream, blend the strawberries, sugar, whipping cream and water in a blender. Transfer it to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the freezer for 2 hours. Do you remember how I made Coconut Ice Cream at home without an Ice Cream maker? – Coconut Ice Cream Recipe – Steps are similar, I use a mini electric beater to beat it every two hours until it has thickened. Freeze overnight. Do the same for others.
