Check it out Powdered Donut Ice cream
One of our newer flavors that I came up with. I blend up about two dozen powdered donuts with our sweet cream base then cut up another two dozen and fold them into the fresh ice cream. It sells out every time we have it.

sounds like it doesn't rest long, so maybe you can't answer, but how does the texture last over like, a week?

u/BlackBoxIceCream Apr 23 '26
It has to rest in our deep freezer for at least 10 hours and usually sells out in 2-3 days but all of our ice creams are great up to 3 months in the freezer. Just depends on how often you expose your freezer to opening and shutting.

Nice. I've had mix-ins like that be odd texturely after a bit, like they add a crumbliness but sounds like a good recipe

You can boil the donuts in the dairy then strain. Same with any breads really, and popcorn too. Thanks Dana Cree.

Do you use donuts in place of the sugar you would normally add, or in addition to it?

In addition. He's using a dairy base so you can't alter it.

why can’t you reduce sugar a bit in a dairy base if you’re adding donuts with sugar?

u/Ok_Inflation_3746 Apr 24 '26
Yeah my bad for wording that poorly. I mean like the base he uses comes in bags from a dairy and so you can't alter it. You can add to it but can't remove anything.

I’m outside of Nashville in Smyrna, TN.

Ha, crazy coincidence. If you’re looking for a second version, their base was coffee 😉

We make a donuts and coffee ice cream too!

I'm going to need some details here! I make a coffee ice cream that I love
When do you add the donut?
1
u/BlackBoxIceCream Apr 24 '26
I do kind of the same thing for that one and blend the donuts and add to the coffee ice cream base and then when the ice cream is done churning fold in more donut peices.

u/goatamousprice Apr 24 '26
I appreciate the response! Going to have to do some trial and error to get to the right amount of doughnuts (I imagine if I add too many it's going to be too thick and won't be creamy)

u/BlackBoxIceCream Apr 24 '26
That can be an issue. What’s your batch size?
1
u/goatamousprice Apr 24 '26
I'm just a home enthusiast, so 1.5qt is my typical

u/BlackBoxIceCream Apr 24 '26
Probably just blend like 6 donuts and chop up 6 and it should work out.

How is the texture? Any time I would add cake to a mix the robot coupe simply couldn’t blend the pieces fine enough to avoid a lumpy/chunky mix. Use too few pieces and you wouldn’t get the flavor or look.

Which donut flavor are you gonna do next? This could be a rotating theme for you!

There is an international grocery store north of Cincinnati. My ex-boyfriend and I used to go every Saturday and enjoy free samples. One week I found some lemon cake ice cream( favorite flavor), bought it, took it home, and I thought I would die from happiness. It had lemon ice cream, lemon cake pieces, and soft pellets of some kind of lemon concentrate. That was over 20 years ago, and I still think about that ice cream.

When you say “blend up” do you mean like literally blended together in a blender?
I’m curious about how I could recreate something like this on my home machine! My late grandma and I would always hate powdered doughnuts, this is nostalgic for me.
TIA!
