Twinkie Forest Berry Ice Cream
When I was young one of my most favorite treats was Hostess cherry pies. Anything Hostess was good but it wasn’t uncommon to see everyone with a Twinkie in their lunch box. It reminds of a time in my childhood in which I lived with my Grandma and Grandpa.
My Grandmother passed away last year. She used to enjoy the Hostess cupcakes. Grandma always kept a box in her room. She used to always sneak my children one or two. I guess the tradition only carried on.
Hostess to us is a family thing. You don’t buy anything other kind but Hostess. When the box of Twinkies came in for this campaign my teenagers raided them like they haven’t ate in a week. I had to snag the box and hide them to make this Twinkie Forest Berry Ice Cream.
It’s a recipe I had fun making for the new #TwinkieCookbook coming out soon! You can submit your own recipes just like me.
My daughter and I talked for days on what to make for this recipe. We know bananas and strawberries go wonderful with Twinkies but it’s something most would think of. Really we wanted to really show a bit of heritage in our dish. We are a HUGE berry family. It’s impossible for us to resist a good berry. The other thing we love it ice cream. I really wanted to try my hand at this no churn, no ice cream machine ice cream.
As you can see this is the Twinkie Forest Berry Ice Cream. With any luck I will get a chance to be in the cookbook!
Twinkie Forest Berry Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 1 cup of blueberries
- 1 cup of raspberries
- 3 Twinkies; sliced
- 1 cup of blackberries
- 1 pint of heavy whipping cream
- 14oz can sweeten condensed milk
- 1½ tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Layer in raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries into a baking dish. Sugar the tops of the berries. Bake for 8 minutes. Smash with fork. Set aside.
- Add heavy whipping cream to your mixer bowl. With the whisk attachment mix on low for 6 minutes. Slowly bring the speed up every 3 minutes. Once you reach the top speed the heavy whipping cream will start to resemble whipped topping. You should have soft peaks. Fold in the sweeten condensed milk. Set aside. Slice Twinkies.
- Line a loaf pan or trifle bowl with parchment paper. Add one layer of cream mixture, one sliced Twinkie, and ⅓ of the berries. Repeat the process twice more to create three layers. Place in freezer for 4 hours until ice cream is solid and ready for serving.

Pin Twinkie Forest Berry ice cream:
I have a love/hate relationship with ice cream and this just makes me think I really need to make this! No one else needs to know I am making this right?
I like that this can be made without an ice cream maker- I never plan far enough in advance to put the bowl in the freezer for a full 24 hours. I also like that there are berries!
My attempts at homemade ice cream have been discouraging. I’m going to try this with the condensed milk. Maybe that will work out better for me!
I love this ice cream! The idea of putting twinkies in there is absolutely genius!
I used to love the Hostess Cherry Pies too! My brother and I would sometimes be allowed to walk to the store to get some and it was a real treat!
