Store birthday cake ice cream in a in freezer safe, airtight container. I prefer to keep mine in two separate containers so that they aren’t opened as often. Keep your ice cream in the bottom (or back) of your freezer where the temperature doesn’t fluctuate as much.
Yes! Homemade ice cream only takes minutes to assemble. It’s worth making at home because you can use your favorite flavors and add ins!
Both the ice cream and crumbles are flavored with vanilla, so the ice cream has a vanilla flavor. It’s studded with lots of sprinkles and bits of birthday cake crumbles.
