Birthday Cake Ice Cream is an indulgent sweet treat that is sure to bring out the kid in you.birthday cake ice cream (no-churn) | superman cooks
Keith and I were both summer babies. Perhaps this fact explains our shared love for all things related to the warmest months of the year: sunshine, baseball, cookouts, and ice cream. I was born on Memorial Day, the unofficial "beginning" of summer, while Keith came into this world on a balmy day in August. We love to celebrate birthdays at our house, and we have several special ones that occur during the sun-filled summer months.  Our celebrations always include a special meal out, a planned activity (like a day at the ballpark), and most importantly, birthday cake and ice cream.

Thanks to the inspiring Christina Tosi at my favorite dessert joint, Milk Bar, birthday cake flavor has become quite the trend (I am a huge fan of her birthday cake truffles). This idea makes perfect sense to me, since I can be found at most celebrations combining ice cream and cake onto my fork to form the perfect bite.  So I asked Keith to take his patented no-churn gelato recipe and lace it with delicious funfetti flavor.  The result is our Birthday Cake Ice Cream that barely lasted a day in our freezer.

It is amazing how such simple ingredients can yield such a fantastic desert. I definitely have a weakness for cake (and sprinkles), and one bite of this deliciously sweet Birthday Cake Ice Cream transported me back to summer birthday parties, back yard baseball games, and Slip N' Slides. It was well-received at our house by kids and the grown-up kids alike. We ate it in cups, on cones, and with cake. I loved this stuff so much that I had to beg Keith not to make it again for a while (my diet was in serious jeopardy). This special treat is reserved only for birthdays, when indulging in great food and celebrating our loved ones is mandatory.

    It looks beautiful and so delicious, Jackie! Ice cream (or gelato) is one of our favorite treats, too! Combining it with sprinkles and the flavors of a birthday cake is like having all the best in one spoonful!

    Cake and ice cream all-in-one is so much fun! I've never tried the no-churn method before- so perfect if you don't have an ice cream maker. I have such a hard time photographing ice cream... you did such a nice job on these!

      Thank so much Emily! You should definitely try the no churn method. It is a good thing to do over a weekend since so much time is involved. The end result is definitely worth it! Yep, I agree, ice cream is sooo hard to shoot.. you should see the edits 😉
