Cake Batter Ice Cream
I made this recipe after falling in love with Coldstone and Carvel's Cake Batter Ice Cream.
I recommend using Splenda instead of sugar since there is sugar in the cake mix.
You can use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract if you please. You can also use 3/4 cup of cake mix.
THIS RECIPE IS TO USE WITH AN ICE CREAM MAKER (MINE IS BY CUISINART)

I too love Coldstone's and Maggie Moo's cake batter ice cream. I used skim milk in place of whole milk and fat free half & half in place of the cream. I also used 1.5 cups of cake mix and only 1/2 cup sugar. Awesome :) -
My DH said this is better than Cold Stone (and I agree!) We didn't do anything fancy - we used 2% milk instead of whole milk and vanilla cake mix. Thanks, SStemp! UPDATE - we've made this several times, and it's good with both vanilla or chocolate cake mix, Oatmeal Cookie mix (just like Cold Stone's version) or brownie mix. It's fun to mix it up and try different mixes, and we've never been disappointed! We've also used both 1% and 2% milk with no difference in taste.

Quick, easy, delicious. This was very sweet as written, but I have a crazy sweet tooth! The second time I made it I used lower fat ingredients - 1 cup of half and half, two cups of So Delicious brand coconut milk (much lower fat than canned). I also added two teaspoons of vodka, which worked well. With a lower fat content, the alcohol helps keep it from freezing into a solid brick once you place it in the freezer.

I have made this recipe several times with several different variations. I like it best with a ratio with 1:1 cream and whole milk. Many users like the milk alone but it will result in a texture more like Dairy Cream where as the recipe with the heavy whipping cream will give you the Stone Cold like results. One variation we really enjoy is mint in place of vanilla with vanilla cake mix or chocolate cake mix and chocolate chip cookies. I also like adding chopped Oreos in the Vanilla for a fantastic cookies and creme recipe. This recipe had to be doubled for a 4 qt machine and it filled about 3 quarts. Best recipe I have found so far. I did reduce sugar to 1/2 C. I mixed it in the milk with a wisk for a minute prior to adding the cream.

Used only and only 1% milk (instead of milk AND cream) Turned out just great. I made this recipe twice. Once for company, following sugar amount exactly and it was overly sweet. Second time I used Splenda instead of sugar - only to taste, not full amount. It turned out fine.
It is great idea to use cake mixes, I used carrot cake mix for Thanksgiving to serve with Pumpkin pie and it was winning combination.
