These white chocolate almond flavored No Churn Easy Ice Cream Cupcakes, with an Oreo crust, are simple to make without an ice cream maker! The green color makes them a fun treat for St. Patrick's Day, but they are ideal for any occasion.
Ice cream cupcakes are something that my kids love, so we often get them for birthdays and other celebrations. I especially love them for the portion control aspect. However, if you're looking for an easy dessert idea, making them at home is both tastier and more economical!

🍨 Ice Cream Cupcake Ingredients
I am a HUGE fan of eating frozen desserts all year round, as are my kids! Who said ice cream is just for summer? No churn ice cream is ideal because you don't need an ice cream maker and you only need:
- whipping cream/heavy cream
- condensed milk
- butter
- salt
- flavoring (I use white chocolate and almond)
- sprinkles
However, you just need to be aware that it melts faster than regular ice cream. With that in mind, you'll want to plan to eat it quickly! But that shouldn't be a problem, right? 🙂

📖 Variations & Substitutions
- Color: Although I made these these easy ice cream cupcakes green, you can easily change up the colors, flavors in the filling and even the decorations to suit your celebration (baby shower, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, birthdays etc..)
- Flavor: I use white chocolate and almond, but you could use another flavor such as peppermint. The flavor combos are really endless!
- Topping: You can use any type of sprinkle or use Cool Whip, instead of whipped cream or even add a maraschino cherry on top!
💭 Top tips
- I like to use a gold cupcake liner (affiliate link) for a fun dessert on St. Patrick's Day. But whatever style you use for your occasion, just make sure it's a strong liner so the cupcakes come out easily. Silicone liners also work well.
- Take them out and serve immediately, as they melt quickly!
- Oh and there's no rule saying you can't use a spoon once they start to melt
🌡️Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight sealed container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

- If you can only find a 14 oz can of condensed milk, you'll have a little leftover. You may want to try my Easy & Healthy Butter Chicken.
- You can also freeze it! Condensed milk should be frozen in an airtight container and will not actually freeze solid because of the sugar content. You can thaw frozen condensed milk overnight in the refrigerator. And it can be frozen for up to three months without any noticeable flavor or texture changes, as long as the container is tightly sealed. Whisk the milk if there is any separation, and note that thawed condensed milk should not be re-frozen.
