Strawberry-Banana-Cake Batter Ice Cream
Fresh strawberries and bananas join with a packaged cake mix to make this yummy ice cream. There are no worries about eggs in the cake batter because all of the cake batter flavor comes from dry cake mix!
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound (8 ounces, weight) strawberries, quartered
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and cut into thick slices
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup dry yellow, white, or strawberry cake mix (unprepared)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- strawberry topping, optional (I used some strawberry freezer jam)
Instructions
- Put the strawberries, banana, sugar, and half and half into a blender and puree.
- Add the cake mix and vanilla. Process for a few seconds until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Add the heavy cream and pulse several times until cream has been well incorporated.
- Pour ice cream base into an appropriate container and refrigerate to chill.
- Once the ice cream base has chilled, pour it into the bucket of your ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions.
- After processing, put the ice cream into a bowl or other container, seal, and place in the freezer for several hours to allow the ice cream to get firm (ripen).
- For serving, top with strawberry topping or fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
The dry cake batter does not contain eggs or egg products.
