Ingredients
  

Vanilla, strawberry, and blueberry ice cream
  • 2 cup vanilla ice cream slightly softened
  • 2 cup strawberry ice cream slightly softened
  • 2 cup blueberry ice cream slightly softened
Fruit and toppings
  • 0.5 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 0.5 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp patriotic sprinkles optional

Equipment

  • 1 freezer-safe container

Method
 

Soften and line the pan
  1. Let the vanilla, strawberry, and blueberry ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes so they are slightly softened.
  2. Line a loaf pan or freezer-safe container with parchment paper to make removal easier.
Layer and swirl
  1. Add spoonfuls of vanilla, strawberry, and blueberry ice cream throughout the container in alternating sections.
  2. Scatter the diced strawberries and blueberries between layers so they show through the finished marble.
  3. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the flavors together just a few times; do not overmix or fully blend.
  4. Sprinkle patriotic sprinkles on top if desired.
Freeze and serve
  1. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
  2. Scoop and serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

For clean slices, press a layer down lightly before swirling, then freeze covered so the marble stays distinct. Store leftovers in the freezer, tightly covered, for up to 2 weeks; the sprinkles may soften slightly. Freezing longer than 2 weeks can dull flavor, so it’s best fresh. For a dairy-free swap, use high-quality non-dairy vanilla, strawberry, and blueberry ice creams and keep the same layering method.
