Birthday Cake Ice Cream

Birthday cake ice cream captures the flavors of a birthday candle topped celebration cake and combines them into a creamy delicious ice cream.


Birthday cake ice cream


The quintessential birthday cake to me is vanilla flavored yellow cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. It's the kind of cake that made you want to lick the batter from the beaters, bowl, and the spoon when you were a kid. Everyone who tasted this ice cream loved it.

This birthday cake ice cream tastes like vanilla cake batter and is delicious topped with chocolate syrup or chocolate fudge topping (in lieu of chocolate frosting) ... and of course you will need to add sprinkles.

This ice cream is no churn, so you don't need an ice cream maker to make it. P.S. If you like no churn ice cream, be sure to try this Heath Bar No Churn Ice Cream, this Peanut Butter Ice Cream, and this Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream.

How to Make This No Churn Birthday Cake Ice Cream:


The base recipe includes heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, corn syrup, a small amount of sugar, vanilla, and salt. To make this ice cream "birthday cake ice cream," you also add 1/2 cup of store bought vanilla frosting and a couple of drops of yellow food coloring. 

And, of course, sprinkles! You can serve it with or without the chocolate topping, or leave it up to your guests.

Instead of a stand mixer, I made this ice cream in a blender. I was a little nervous because it was my first time whipping cream in a blender, but it worked! The whole mixture came together in less than a minute!

Once you have everything blended, pour the mixture into a chilled loaf pan or 8 inch square cake pan, and then stir in some brightly colored sprinkles

You will need to freeze the mixture for at least six hours before serving, so be sure to make it the day before the birthday party.

Birthday Cake Ice Cream Variations:


You can leave out the frosting and add 6 ounces of melted milk or dark chocolate with the condensed milk for a chocolate birthday cake. You can also leave out the yellow food coloring for a white birthday cake... or you could tint it pink or blue and call it a unicorn birthday cake!
