Cake Batter Ice Cream

Cake Batter Ice Cream


My kids love this birthday cake ice cream from a local ice cream shop, so as a back to school treat we made this in our ice cream maker.

1 cup whole milk, well chilled
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream, well chilled
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 to 3/4 cup cake mix (we used Funfetti cake mix)

• Place freezer bowl of ice cream maker into the freezer. It is better to keep it in there 24/7 that way it is always ready.


• In a medium bowl, whisk the milk and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved.


• Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla to taste.


• Stir in cake mix, making sure there are no lumps.


• Pour mixture into the freezer bowl and let mix until it has thickened (about 25-30 minutes).


• Remove ice cream from freezer bowl and place into a separate container.


• Place freezer bowl and the ice cream into the freezer to further harden.
