Sprinkles Ice Cream – Barefeet in the Kitchen

Creamy, rich vanilla ice cream is swirled with handfuls of colorful sweet sprinkles to make this homemade sprinkles ice cream.

Sprinkles Ice Cream

Oh, sprinkles, I’ve come full circle. I love you now. The difference between good sprinkles and the waxy plastic-y tasting years-old sprinkles from grandma’s baking cupboard can not be overstated.

The first time I tasted quality sprinkles, I think my jaw may have actually dropped. It turns out that good sprinkles should taste like little bits of frosting. They’ll melt in your mouth and have their own unique sweet flavor. They’re worth every penny and they’re now a staple in my pantry.

Swirled into creamy homemade ice cream, sprinkles ice cream is a treat that is a hit with both kids and adults. Each bowl is colorful, sweet, and fun to eat!

Ever since I made Birthday Cake Ice Cream earlier this year, I’ve been a wee bit obsessed with sprinkles. Prior to making that ice cream, I don’t remember the last time I tasted a funfetti cake topped with sprinkles frosting.

And let me tell you, that cake was a taste bud time machine straight back to my childhood. I remember enjoying those cakes so much at my friends’ birthday parties.

There simply aren’t enough opportunities for treats with sprinkles as adults – let’s change that, ok? And speaking of sprinkled fun, you should probably put these Funfetti Pancakes on your must-make list as well.

And in case you doubt my renewed love of funfetti birthday cakes, I just bought a mix and yes, a can of frosting to make one for my own birthday this year. And yes again, I’ll be making that birthday cake ice cream too.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

Funfetti Ice Cream

Whisk together cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt. Pour into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Add ¾ cup of sprinkles, just before the ice cream finishes churning. Serve immediately for soft serve ice cream or transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer until ready to serve. Top each serving with additional sprinkles.

These are my favorite inexpensive containers for storing ice cream. They’re perfect for gifting (who doesn’t love homemade ice cream?) storage, re-using, etc. I write the flavors on the lids with a sharpie and it washes off with dish soap.

I have more ice cream scoops than I can keep track of at this point and I definitely play favorites. This ice cream scoop does the best job ever of cutting through firm ice cream and still delivers a pretty scoop. It gets bonus points for being one of the least expensive scoops I own as well.
