Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup light brown sugar

¾ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup vanilla cake mix, dry

½ cup yellow cake mix, dry

¼ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon butter extract, optional

1 tablespoon milk

½ cup mini chocolate chips

¼ cup colorful sprinkles

1 jar (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1 tube (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed

Directions

  1. Let the softened butter sit at room temperature. If needed, microwave for 10–15 seconds until soft and creamy.

  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar.

  3. Using a handheld mixer, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, breaking up any sugar lumps and butter chunks completely.

  4. Add the flour, vanilla cake mix, yellow cake mix, and salt to the butter mixture.

  5. Mix just until the dry ingredients are combined; the mixture will be crumbly.

  6. Add the vanilla extract, butter extract (if using), and milk to the mixture.

  7. Stir and mix until the dough comes together and becomes soft and pliable.

  8. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and colorful sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  9. Roll small balls of cookie dough, using approximately 1 teaspoon of dough for each bite. Place on a plate and set aside.

  10. In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla cake mix, stirring until the dry cake mix is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.

  11. Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the condensed milk mixture until well combined and fluffy.

  12. Carefully fold the cookie dough bites into the ice cream base, or layer them alternately in your freezer container for a marbled effect.

  13. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 4–8 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency.

This no-churn ice cream delivers on its promise: genuinely manageable prep (fold six ingredients into whipped topping in under 10 minutes, then freeze), and all components are stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI without a special stop. Two cake mixes, butter extract, and sweetened condensed milk run about $12–14 for six servings ($2–2.25 per person), which is honest for a dessert that feels indulgent. The real caveat is that this is a same-night or planned-ahead dish—it requires 4–6 hours to set in the freezer, not a spontaneous weeknight finish. Leftovers keep beautifully for up to two weeks and taste better after a day, making it an excellent make-ahead for family dinners or potlucks.
