This Funfetti Cake Batter Ice Cream replicates the flavour of cake batter but without the need to use a box cake mix! Smooth and creamy flavour with a sweet crunch from the sprinkles.
Pull up a pew and grab some hankies because I’m going to get all happy and deep on y’all.
This exact day last year, I started this blog. I’d also never baked anything in my life before. OK, I may have made some box mix cupcakes wayyyy in the past but, even then, I managed to screw them up somehow! And we’re not even talking frosting here.
I also never even realised that baking, desserts and blogging would have become such a passion it has become. My hobby, my obsession… my hobsession? 😀
I never dreamed that I’d get to find such wonderful friends too. A wonderful community of like-minded, kind, generous and supportive people, not to mention such talent too. Crazy talent in fact.
And wow, you guys are such an inspiration too. When I first started this blog, my posts were few and far in-between. I mainly focussed on cake decoration too. I just had to fix those box mix cupcakes with made from scratch perfecto cupcakes of joy and with frosting too.
You may roll your eyes at me now, I’m rolling them too, but that’s where I came from and I’m kinda proud of myself. 🙂
Whilst my tastes have changed in the past year, most of everything you see on this blog has been a first for me.
And this Funfetti Cake Catter Ice Cream is no exception too. I know what you’re thinking, “Ice cream in December? Is she cray-cray!” Well the answer to that would be a ‘yes’, but a good yes, right? 😉
The Funfetti Cake Batter Ice Cream just seemed so right and apt for this occasion. And not a cake box mix in sight! This Funfetti Cake Batter Ice Cream replicates the flavour of cake batter with the addition of extracts. I have quite a love/hate relationship with box mixes. I thought I’d find an easier way around.

Funfetti Cake Batter Ice Cream
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 500ml (½ litre)
This Funfetti Cake Batter Ice Cream replicates the flavour of cake batter but without the need to use a box cake mix! Smooth and creamy flavour with a sweet crunch from the sprinkles.
Ingredients:
- 480ml (2 cups) milk
- 240ml (1 cup) double (heavy) cream
- 170g (¾ cup) granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp + 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch)
- pinch salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 cup rainbow ‘jimmie’ sprinkles
- rainbow non pareils sprinkles, for decoration (optional)
Directions:
- In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup milk with the cornflour (cornstarch), set aside. In a medium saucepan over low/medium heat, combine the rest of the milk, sugar and the salt. Heat, stirring frequently with a whisk until bubbles start to simmer on the sides. Don’t let it boil!
- Remove from heat, carefully add the cornflour (cornstarch) mixture, and continue to whisk. It should begin to thicken ever so slightly. Add the vanilla extract, cream of tartar, and almond extract. Stir for about a minute more then transfer to a refrigerator-proof bowl, set aside to cool to room temperature, stirring every now and then to prevent a skin from forming or alternatively push plastic wrap on top of the mixture.
- Once room temperature (the mixture should be like a very thick cream in consistency at this point), cover and put in the fridge for approx. 2 hours.
- Remove from the fridge and pour into your ice cream maker, following manufacturers instructions.
- When finished churning, carefully but quickly stir in the sprinkles. Too much stirring will cause the sprinkles to leak their colour causing a muddy colour!
- Serve immediately or transfer to a freezer safe airtight container for later.
- Serve with a sprinkle of rainbow nonpareils sprinkles, optional.
Notes:
Prep time doesn’t include freezing time which takes about 30-45 minutes in an ice cream maker.
Thank you so much for stopping by and being so supportive.

Funfetti is my favorite! Perfect for kids desserts! Great recipe!

Happy one year blogiversary! You should be extremely proud. Now, treat yourself to an entire container of this delicious ice cream. Yum!
I have yet to make my own ice cream at home… but Lisa. I think cake batter flavored is where I would start. This is why I love you – our love for all things cake batter! It looks amazing and I feel like I wouldn’t be able to stop eating spoonful after spoonful!
Yum!! This does look like a very fun ice cream! I’m SO happy spring/summer is finally coming around so I can eat more of this cold treat!
