Creamy {Low Fat} Cake Batter Ice Cream

Can we all just agree that sprinkles make everything better?

I mean, have you ever come across a situation where you added sprinkles to something and thought, “No, this is just awful now.”

I didn’t think so.

And we all know my obsession with birthday cake and cake batter…

{Cheesecake Cake Batter Dip} {Oreo Birthday Cake Blondies} {Cake Batter Cinnamon Rolls} {Birthday Cake Egg Rolls}

I figured it was time I create another fantastic cake batter recipe {including sprinkles of course}.

This Creamy {Low Fat} Cake Batter Ice Cream has a secret ingredient that makes it extra creamy. Did you notice that I said Low Fat and Creamy in the same sentence? It’s hard to believe, but I think I cracked the code on making a low fat ice cream with all the creaminess of a full fat ice cream with the help of a secret ingredient!!

I gave this ice cream to my husband {who absolutely hates everything and anything considered “low fat”} and I conveniently failed to mention the fact that it was low fat… while he was chowing it down I asked him what he thought. Did he enjoy the creamy texture and cake batter flavor?…

YES!

He thought it was some of the best ice cream around. THEN I told him it was low fat, and he just stared at me like I played a bad trick on him.

HA! See honey… low fat CAN taste good!!

So what is this magical creamy secret ingredient?!

Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix!

I took out the sugar and substituted it with instant pudding mix (I used the regular kind, not the sugar free, but I’m sure that would work too), then I mixed it with low fat milk, half and half, and of course a little bit of dry cake mix.

That’s it!

It’s like having your “cake batter” and eating it too.

I don’t know what it is about cake batter and always making us feel like we are walking on the wild side. But I love it.

Sprinkles are necessary.

Adding a candle is completely optional, but it does make it more fun…
