Cold Stone Creamery Cake Batter Ice Cream

This recipe replicates Cold Stone Creamery's Cake Batter Ice Cream using a homemade cream base combined with baked Duncan Hines Butter cake mix. The batter is cooked by baking before mixing into cream and milk, then chilled and churned to produce a creamy ice cream that highlights the buttery cake flavor. It offers a rich, sweet dessert reminiscent of the original store-bought version.

Description

The process begins by baking the butter cake mix to eliminate the raw taste of flour and to develop a light toasted flavor, then cooling it completely. Separately, heavy cream is heated with sugar and salt until sugar dissolves, then cake mix is whisked in. Additional heavy cream and milk are added to the blend, which is then refrigerated to allow flavors to meld and mixture to chill adequately before freezing.

Mixing and chilling time helps incorporate the dry cake mix fully into the dairy base, preventing lumps. The final product is churned in an ice cream maker and may be frozen further before serving, ensuring a smooth texture with the distinctive butter cake taste.

Choosing Duncan Hines Butter cake mix replicates the particular flavor profile of Cold Stone's version. This recipe yields about one quart of ice cream and emphasizes food safety by baking the cake mix before use.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter cake mix brand: Duncan Hines

Instructions

  1. Spread the cake mix on a baking sheet or Silpat, and bake for about 5 minutes at 350°F. Let cool completely.
  2. In a heavy stockpot mix together 1 cup of heavy cream, salt, and 3/4 cup of sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. 
  3. When the sugar is dissolved turn off the burner, add 1/2 cup Duncan Hines Butter Recipe cake mix, and whisk in well. 
  4. Add 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of milk into the pot and mix well. Refrigerate mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight. 
  5. Before freezing ice cream according to your ice cream freezer whisk together well, the mixture will be a little lumpy. I like to freeze the ice cream for a few hours before serving the ice cream.

Notes

  • Always bake the cake mix before adding it to the ice cream base to eliminate unsafe raw flour consumption.
  • Chill the ice cream mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure full incorporation of the cake mix.
  • Use Duncan Hines Butter cake mix to closely match Cold Stone Creamery's cake batter ice cream flavor.
  • This recipe makes about 1 quart of ice cream.
