Instructions

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form (1-2 minutes). Put the bowl in the refrigerator while you prepare the other components.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, white cake mix, vanilla extract, and salt until combined. Fold in ½ cup of the whipped cream using a rubber spatula and then gently fold in the rest until smooth and fully combined. Then fold in a little more than ¼ cup of the rainbow sprinkles.
Spread the ice cream mixture into the bread pan and sprinkle on the rest of the rainbow sprinkles. Then, cover with foil. Freeze for at least 4 hours (overnight preferred).

Notes

Loaf Pan: Use a 9x5-inch bread pan to freeze the ice cream. This works great because the ice cream completely fills up the pan. Just be sure to cover the pan with foil to avoid freezer burn. You could also use any freezer-safe container.

Stiff Peaks: The heavy whipping cream needs to be whipped to stiff peaks. This means that the peaks stand straight up when lifting up the whisk. It needs to be thick when folding into the ice cream base. If not, the ice cream won't set up properly when freezing.

Cake Mix: You can use your preferred cake mix flavor, such as white, yellow, or even the funfetti cake mix.

Freeze Time: The ice cream needs to freeze for at least 4 hours before eating. I recommend freezing it overnight if you can.

Storage: Once set, the ice cream will last in the freezer for to 2 months. Be sure to cover it tightly with foil or a freezer-safe lid to avoid freezer burn and ice crystals.
