Dunkaroos No-Churn Ice Cream Recipe

Introduction

This Dunkaroos No-Churn Ice Cream brings the nostalgic flavors of everyone’s favorite cookie and frosting combo into an easy, homemade frozen treat. Rich cream cheese and sweet birthday cake grahams create a creamy, fun dessert without the need for an ice cream machine.

Ingredients

• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (7.5-oz.) box Annie’s Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons grahams)
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

1. Step 1: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth.
2. Step 2: Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and kosher salt; continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
3. Step 3: Fold in the sweetened condensed milk gently until combined.
4. Step 4: Fold in 2 cups of the chopped Bunny Grahams and 1/2 cup of sprinkles until evenly mixed.
5. Step 5: Pour the mixture into a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan, filling it to the top. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of grahams and 2 tablespoons of sprinkles evenly over the surface.
6. Step 6: Freeze the ice cream until firm, at least 5 hours or overnight.

Tips & Variations

• For extra texture, briefly pulse the grahams to a coarse chop rather than finely crushing them.
• If you don’t have a stand mixer, a hand mixer or vigorous whisking can work—just make sure to beat until stiff peaks form.
• Swap birthday cake grahams for chocolate or honey grahams for a flavor twist.
• Add mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added crunch.

Storage

Store the ice cream in the loaf pan tightly covered with plastic wrap or a lid in the freezer. It keeps well for up to one week. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular graham crackers instead of Bunny Grahams?

Yes, regular graham crackers work fine. Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams add a festive flavor, but any graham cracker adds great texture.

Is this recipe suitable for a dairy-free diet?

This recipe uses cream cheese, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk, so it is not dairy-free. You could experiment with dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream substitutes, but results may vary.

Ice Cream Base

• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Mix-ins and Toppings

• 1 (7.5-oz.) box Annie’s Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups plus 2 Tbsp. grahams)
• 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

1. Beat Cream Cheese and Cream: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the softened cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and kosher salt, then continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
2. Combine with Sweetened Condensed Milk and Mix-ins: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream mixture and gently fold to combine. Then fold in 2 cups of the coarsely chopped Birthday Cake Bunny Grahams and 1/2 cup of the rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed.
3. Assemble in Loaf Pan: Pour the graham and cream mixture into a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan, filling it to the top. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped Bunny Grahams and 2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles over the top for added crunch and color.
4. Freeze Until Firm: Place the loaf pan in the freezer and freeze until the ice cream is firm, at least 5 hours or ideally overnight for best texture.
5. Make Ahead and Store: This ice cream can be prepared up to 1 week in advance. Cover the loaf pan tightly with plastic wrap and keep frozen until ready to serve.

Notes

• For best results, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before beating to avoid lumps.
• You can substitute Bunny Grahams with other favorite graham crackers or cookies if desired.
• The ice cream will be very creamy but slightly softer than churned ice cream due to no-churn method.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
• Feel free to add more or fewer sprinkles depending on your preference for sweetness and crunch.
