How to make cupcake ice cream

Erin from the blog Spice Dish has kindly let us repost this delicious-looking recipe for cupcake ice cream!
The only place I've had cupcake ice cream is in Atlanta during a trip to the bakery Sweet Pockets - that was red velvet ice cream and was delicious (not from Sweet Pockets, but in the same indoor mall). And I guess technically it was red velvet cake ice cream, not cupcake ice cream, but I think that counts for our purposes here.



Mimi’s Birthday Cupcake Ice Cream
This makes a large batch, very good for parties.

1 cup whole milk
¾ cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup cake mix (I like strawberry for the color)
2-3 previously made and frozen cupcakes, chopped into pieces
Candy sprinkles


Whisk Milk and sugar until dissolved
Stir in cream and vanilla
Stir in ½ cup of the cake mix until well blended
Freeze in your ice cream machine according to directions.

Halfway through freezing, pour the remaining ½ cup of cake mix into top of machine (it will mix in and make a ‘swirl.’

Five minutes before completion add cupcake pieces and sprinkles.

This tends not to freeze fully hard in the machine so you will need to put it in a container and ‘ripen’ it in the freezer for about 3 hours.
