Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Jello Ice Cream
  1. In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and your chosen flavor of JELL-O (about 3 ounces). Use a whisk to mix until smooth and frothy.
  2. If using an ice cream maker, pour the blended mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for about 20-30 minutes until soft-serve consistency.
  3. For a no-machine version, transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 8 hours or overnight, stirring every 2 hours for the first few hours.
  4. For a firmer texture, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2 hours before serving.
