You are going to love this Cake Batter Ice Cream Recipe! Enjoy it as is or make an extra special treat as a sprinkled cookie ice cream sandwich – AKA my favorite way to enjoy it.
No Churn Cake Batter Ice Cream
This is an easy homemade ice cream recipe that I love to sandwich with Funfetti cookies! You can enjoy this ice cream alone as is or as a cookie sandwich. Either way, you’re going to love the cake flavor and delicious ice cream.
Now, if you read my blog at all, you know that 99.9% of the time I make easy ice cream. I do own an ice cream machine, but let’s be honest: making life easier is all we want!
This confetti ice cream kind of reminds me of the one you get from Cold Stone Creamery. Except this one makes a large amount, takes minimal effort AND you can make ice cream sandwiches with it!
Ingredients Needed
- Heavy whipping cream: You can substitute 2 containers of Cool Whip for the heavy cream.
- Sweetened condensed milk: I like to use fat-free sweetened condensed milk for this recipe but you can use regular as well. Just make sure it’s not evaporated milk, the cans look so similar!
- Cake batter extract: for some extra cake batter flavor or use a teaspoon vanilla extract for a simple ice cream.
- Sprinkles: rainbow jimmies sprinkles for some colorful fun
- Sprinkle Cookies: totally optional but if you want to use this cake batter ice cream as an ice cream base for cookie sandwiches. You can bake your cookies using my easy recipe or use store-bought!
How to make cake batter ice cream
- Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form and set aside.
- Place the sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl.
- Stir in the cake batter extract
- Fold in the whipped cream and the rainbow sprinkles.
- Place the ice cream mixture in an airtight container.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Cake Batter Ice Cream Sandwiches
You can make these into ice cream sandwiches so easily. Take your favorite cookies (like easy sugar cookies or chocolate sugar cookies) and sandwich them with about 1/4 cup of ice cream (one large cookie scoop).
Expert tips
- Cake Batter Extract is found at most grocery stores (McCormick) or you can find it sometimes at craft stores or on Amazon. If you can’t find it, use a combination of vanilla and butter emulsion, but it won’t be as cake batter flavored.
- You can use sugar cookies in place of the sprinkle cookies, or my cake batter cookies!
- I do not suggest making the ice cream sandwiches ahead and freezing them – the cookies get too hard.
FAQs
Yes! The cake batter will still give the delicious cake flavor to the ice cream
Focus on the ice cream, and the sandwiches are just a fun way to use it

I need one of these ice cream sandwiches!!! I did not know making ice cream at home could be that easy – I’m totally going to try it! And sprinkles everywhere – I love it!
It’s the best base Jessica! 1 can of SCM + 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped OR 2 containers (8-ounces each) Cool Whip. Add flavors, mix-ins, pudding mix, whatever!
These little treats just scream summer perfection! Oh, and I just loved the original Parent Trap movie when I was a kid!
These look delicious! I have never made easy ice cream before, but this might be the recipe that makes me try it 🙂
It’s my favorite ice cream! So easy and creamy!
Yum!!! Cake Batter overload! So why did I just buy an ice cream maker if all you have to use is condensed milk and whipped cream?! I love all versions of The Parent Trap both the original and the Lindsay Lohan version!
These look fabulous Dorothy — so many gorgeous photos!! You’ve really got the photo composition thing down. 🙂 Too cute about the movie night too; that Parent Trap has been one of my favorites! I still like “Freaky Friday” and “Just My Luck” for movies with Lindsay Lohan. Although she isn’t exactly the best role model, the latter of those two was still extremely cute!
Thanks Amy! Some days are better with photography than others, lol.
