Divide the whipped cream evenly into 3 separate small bowls. Add a few drops of pink gel food coloring to one bowl, blue to another, and purple to the third. Gently fold each color until just combined, being careful not to overmix. You want distinct colors, not a blended mess.

Assemble the unicorn swirl: Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Spoon alternating dollops of the pink, blue, and purple whipped cream onto the plastic wrap in a line. Carefully roll the plastic wrap into a log, twisting the ends to seal. Snip one end of the plastic wrap to create an opening, then place this into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or just snip the corner of the plastic wrap for a simple swirl).

Scoop the vanilla ice cream into four individual sundae dishes or bowls. Aim for 2-3 scoops per serving.
⏱️ 2 min

Pipe a generous swirl of the multi-colored unicorn whipped cream on top of each ice cream sundae.

Decorate with toppings: Liberally sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the whipped cream. Place one unicorn horn sugar cone (or regular sugar cone) into the whipped cream on each sundae, positioning it to resemble a unicorn horn. Top each sundae with a maraschino cherry. For extra sparkle, lightly dust with edible glitter, if desired.
