Ingredients

Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream Provides a luscious texture.
  • 1 cup whole milk Adds creaminess.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Brightens every bite.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses a warm aroma.

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup sprinkles Adds color and crunch.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled birthday cake Provides nostalgic flavor.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  • Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • Gently fold in the sprinkles and cake crumbles.

Freezing

  • Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours.
  • Serve in bowls or cones, optionally topped with whipped cream and more sprinkles.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl for an even smoother texture. If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
