Birthday Cake Ice Cream

  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 3 hours (including freezing time)
  • Yield: 1 quart 1x

Ingredients

Vanilla Cake Ice Cream:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/4 cups vanilla cake mix (or whatever flavor you want!)
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 recipe cream cheese frosting
  • 1 recipe cake batter chunks

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 stick butter
  • 12 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cake Batter Chunks:

  • Cake mix leftover from ice cream recipe
  • ½ stick butter, melted.
  • A dash of milk, if necessary

Instructions

 

For the frosting:

  1. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy. Then beat in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, until desired taste and consistency is reached. Set aside until ready to use in recipe.

For the chunks:

  1. Combine the melted butter and leftover cake mix in a bowl until thoroughly combined. If it is too dry to stick together, add a dash of milk. You can either roll this into balls or just swirl it into the ice cream. (I just swirled it). Set aside until ready to use it in the recipe.

For the ice cream:

  1. In a large bowl, combine heavy cream, milk and cake mix and mix until completely smooth with no lumps. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture into ice cream machine and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. Scoop ice cream into an airtight container and dollop in cake batter chunks and frosting. Swirl, then place ice cream in freezer for 2-3 hours.
  2. Ice cream will stay creamy and smooth for up to 2 weeks stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
