- Next, add in your red food coloring and gently fold it in the mixture.
- Then add in your red velvet cake crumbs and mix everything together.
- Finally, pour red velvet ice cream mixture into your jars and freeze 6-8 hours in the freezer or overnight for the best texture and flavoring.
What Is Red Velvet Cake?
A red velvet cake is a cake that is usually a rich, dark red color with a delicious cocoa, chocolate red velvet flavor.
This cake is usually made with layers or frosting. It’s common for this cake to be made with buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
Yummy Variations
Add more red food coloring– if you want more coloring to your ice cream, add more food coloring in small increments.
Add a dollop of red velvet cream cheese icing– this will add even more creaminess. Homemade icing is even more tasty than store bought frosting and this adds a nice cream cheese icing swirl.
Out of red velvet cake?– you can try red velvet cookies or cupcakes for a similar, yet different decadent dessert.
Want more creaminess? Add in some sweetened condensed milk.
Add yummy pieces– add in white chocolate chips for a little flair.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Alternatively, you can freeze your ice cream in a bread loaf pan or in your Mason Jar. We prefer in the jar so it’s one less thing to clean up and is ready for enjoying.
- This is a recipe that doesn’t require an ice cream maker, but you certainly can use one if you have one.
- Make sure you’re mixing slow enough that you don’t make a huge mess of ingredients and splash cream cheese, milk and sugar everywhere.
- Use softened cream cheese to help make this ice cream easier to create.
- You can use either store bought red velvet cake or make your own. If making your own, make sure you use a good cocoa powder to bring out a nice cocoa flavoring.
- If you need help breaking up your red velvet cake, you can use a food processor.
- Feel free to add in a dash of vanilla extract for a little extra flair.
How Long Is Red Velvet Ice Cream Good For?
Homemade ice cream can last in the freezer for about 3 months if stored properly.
How Do You Store No Churn Ice Cream?
Store your favorite red velvet cake ice cream in your Mason Jar in the freezer. Most jars are freezer safe, check yours to be sure before using.
You can also store your ice cream in a bread loaf pan or an airtight container with plastic wrap over the Diy ice cream and then cover with an air tight lid over top of the container.
