Instructions

Making the Ice Cream

On a sturdy cutting board chop the M&M's into smaller pieces using a long bladed knife. It's easier to do this in small batches.
In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cold whipping cream and beat it on medium to medium hight speed until it forms stiff peaks.
Fold the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla into the whipped cream to combine. It's best to use a rubber spatula and slowly rotate the bowl while folding until all the ingredients are combined.
Pour ½ of the ice cream mixture into a loaf pans. Sprinkle with half of the chopped M&M's. Repeat again. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

Making the Red, White & Blue Ice Cream Sundaes

In a medium-sized mixing bowl whip the cold whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. You can also use your stand mixer.
Add a small amount of fudge to the bottom of each bowl. 1 - 2 tablespoons is good.
Scoop two large balls of ice cream and add to each bowl.
Top the ice cream with fudge, whipped cream, M&M's and a cherry.

The candy coating from the M&M's will melt in the ice cream as you mix it in. This is normal.
