Birthday Cake Ice Cream Recipe
Description
Birthday Cake Ice Cream Recipe uses whole milk, heavy cream, and cream cheese to create a creamy ice cream base. Cornstarch is mixed with a portion of milk to thicken the mixture upon cooking, while white cake mix adds a distinct cake flavor and texture. The cream cheese is melted into the hot milk-cream mixture to add richness and a slight tang. After the hot mixture is combined with the cake mix and chilled, it is churned in an ice cream maker and then frozen until firm. Sprinkles can be added as a finishing touch for visual appeal.
The cooking method of bringing the milk and cream mixture to a boil after adding cream cheese and cornstarch ensures a smooth, thickened custard base, critical for good texture. Chilling before churning helps the ice cream freeze evenly.
This ice cream is a playful dessert suitable for birthdays or celebrations, capturing the flavor of cake in a frozen form. It can be served on its own or with complementary toppings chosen to keep the festive character.
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk whole
- 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- ⅓ cup sugar
- A A pinch salt sea salt
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups white cake mix
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl mix two tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch and it set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat add the remaining milk, cream, sugar, and sea salt. Bring it to a boil then add the cream cheese. Stir it until the cream cheese has fully melted, about 4 minutes. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pot and let it boil for 1 minute.
- Remove the pot from the heat, whisk in the white cake mix, then refrigerate until completely it's cold, at least 4 hours.
- Process the ice cream according to your ice cream maker manufacturer's instructions.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-proof container then freeze until it's firm, about 4 hours. (You can eat it right away, but it will be very soft.) Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
