Sprinkles Ice Cream Ingredients

Heavy Whipping Cream – This is the base of our ice cream, and what makes the ice cream creamy!

Whole Milk – A combination of both whole milk and heavy cream gives the perfect texture to our rainbow ice cream.

Granulated Sugar – For sweetness and texture, plain, white, granulated sugar is the perfect choice.

Honey – Honey adds natural sweetness and gives the final ice cream a slightly softer texture.

Vanilla Extract – To flavor our ice cream base, a good quality pure vanilla extract is key.

Kosher Salt – A bit of salt balances the sweetness in this recipe.

Rainbow Sprinkles – Your best choice is to use rainbow jimmies here (the longer style). The look amazing, plus they are less likely to bleed colors into the ice cream. I’ve found that non-pareils muddy the ice cream because all of their colors bleed and combine.

Tips for making this Sprinkles ice cream recipe

Use quality ingredients – When making homemade ice cream, you’ll want to make sure you are using high quality ingredients for the best outcome.

Chill out – If possible, always start with chilled ingredients. This is important for homemade no-churn ice cream recipes and ice cream maker recipes.

Don’t skimp on the fat – High fat milks and creams are essential when making homemade ice cream. Opting for a low-fat option often leads to icy ice creams and inconsistency in the texture.

Don’t go crazy with the add-ins – If you’re adding in additional ingredients, pick one or two and make sure they are chopped into pieces no larger than a blueberry or pea.

Don’t skimp on the sugar – Sugar not only adds sweetness to homemade ice creams, it also helps with the texture. Sugar is essential for the creamy texture in ice cream.
