Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Yellow cake mix
- 0.33 cup Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Whisk the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
Slowly sift the yellow cake mix into the cream mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Ensure the cake mix is fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to chill thoroughly.
After chilling, pour the ice cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
During the last few minutes of churning, add in the rainbow sprinkles and allow them to mix evenly into the ice cream.
Once the ice cream is ready, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy!
