Birthday Cake Ice Cream :)

I love that birthday cake flavored things have become so popular!  I am such a long time fan of cake batter ice cream, I used to get it as a special treat as a kid at Maggie Moo's (are they sill around?  It is kind of like Cold Stone).  I picked up a box of Funfetti cake mix the other day, so thought I would try this recipe from food.com (adapted a bit).  Super easy, very creamy and very delicious!







1 Cup 1% Milk, very cold
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream, very cold
1 tsp madagascar vanilla extract
2/3 cup 'Funfetti' cake mix

Directions:
1. Dissolve milk and sugar in bowl (the longer you do this the more smooth your ice cream will be!)
2. Whisk in heavy cream and vanilla.
3. Whisk in cake mix, keep stirring until very smooth.
4. Chill in freezer for 5 minutes, just to get it very cold again.
5. Pour in ice cream maker and mix for 30-35 mins.  
6. Mixture will still be runny, but very thick.  If you want sprinkles, mix them in now so they are even throughout!
7. Pour in container with lid and freeze overnight.

Top with more sprinkles before serving and enjoy!
