When I came home on mid-tour leave from Afghanistan, I took my daughter, Ava, out for ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. She was only a year old and hadn’t seen me in months, but bonding over delicious, creamy ice cream was everything I had pictured.

I plopped her in her stroller and fed her scoops of creamy cake batter ice cream as she smeared it all over her cute chubby face. One bite for you, three for me. I’ve never been one to turn down a sweet treat, but my gosh! This ice cream was just so smooth and creamy!

Cold Stone cake batter ice cream is super creamy, sugary, and just downright delicious. The endless toppings make the ice creams even more fun! My personal favorite is the cake batter ice cream with gummy bears!

Cake batter ice cream ingredients

  • Sweetened condensed milk– Using a can of sweetened condensed milk makes this recipe fast since there is no need to heat milk and dissolve sugar on a stovetop.
  • Heavy cream– Using chilled heavy cream will add the fat the ice cream needs for it to be creamy and have the right consistency. It also helps slow down melting by stabilizing the air bubbles.
  • Milk- Whole milk or any kind of nut milk will thin this icecream out to the perfect texture.
  • Cake flour– Look for a cake flour mixture that you know if super flavorful. Butter or vanilla cake flours are best for this recipe.
  • Sprinkles– Rainbow, chocolate or any kind of sprinkles will make this icecream super cute!
  • Vanilla extract
  • Salt

Chef’s tips

  • Cook the cake flour. Raw flour can contain bacteria, so spread the amount of flour you will be using for this recipe on a baking sheet and bake it at 350 for 5 minutes.
  • Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to whip the heavy cream. You can use a whisk and some arm power is you are up to the task!
  • Use a yellow cake mix. The combination of yellow cake and vanilla extract is incredible!
