My love affair with melted Ice Cream continues on with this latest creation, and I have to say..this could be the best thing that has resulted from my laziness yet! Just to catch you up, it all started when I was too lazy busy to whip up a custard, so I did what any lazy busy person would do….I used melted Ice cream.
I made this French Toast and my life was forever changed! It’s like..forget all that measuring, forget the violent mixing, forget the dirty bowls, forget that ‘sometimes cooking & straining the eggs’ thing that’s just so weird to me…forget needing to know a single thing about creating a fluffy, light, non-curdled custard..just forget it!
The melted Ice Cream does all the work for you, and the best part > you do NOTHING! Just let it melt a bit, which let’s be honest…probably melted a bit by now anyway, and POOF..you have Custard! Not just any old Custard, you have the thickest, richest, creamiest and most flavorful Custard you’ll ever add to your baked goods! Not to mention the flavors are ENDLESS! Any Ice Cream you can imagine can and will become your next Custard!
These Cupcakes are not only delicious, but they have a flavor that’s all their own! No one will be able to figure it out, all you’ll hear is: “Mmm..Oh my gosh, what’s in these?” “Can you give me the recipe?” “These are SO amazing!”…and it goes on and on! There’a creaminess to these Cupcakes and a moist, richness that only the Ice Cream can give! Go make a quick batch and you’ll see! 🙂
What you’ll need:
One Box of Cake Mix..any flavor, mixed according to the box instructions..replacing the liquid with the ice-cream ! I used Spice Cake!
I cup of melted Ice Cream…any flavor! I used Snickerdoodle!
Frosting for the top!
Sprinkles
A Cherry!
Directions:
In a large bowl mix together the cake mix according to the box instructions!
BUT>>replace the water with melted Ice Cream!
Mix it up until it’s smooth, and BOOM~~ your Cupcake batter is DONE!
Bake them according to the box instructions, let them cool…
Now frost them…
Sprinkle them…
Cherry them…
Serve them…
Be amazed by them! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Who makes the Snickerdoodles ice cream that you use in the Ice Cream batter cupcakes, I have never seen it before, but I will look for it if you can give me a Brand name that makes it, Thanks, plus I would love to try this recipe, your way first. <3
Hi Kimm~ 🙂 The brand is Kroger, just a store brand, but I think any cinnamon ice cream would yield the same result! Hope that helps, and hope you enjoy it!
Amy! Is that you or is it JLo?
re:Icecream batter cupcakes, where did you get the liners,

Has anyone tried this with a lower fat ice cream? Haven’t tried the recipe yet, (will today!) but it sounds delicious!
Can the ice cream be used to make a regular cake and not just cupcakes?
Yes!
Do you omit the eggs and oil completely, substituting the ice cream for eggs, oil, and water?
Mix the batter according to your box instructions,,,BUT replace the liquid with the ice cream.
I saw another couple recipes like this, one replaced oil and water and the other just the water. Did you keep the oil or no?
