This recipe was originally shared in 2016. At the time MiMi had an ice cream maker but I didn't.
I got a new ice cream maker for Christmas, so I've been having fun updating her old posts. It gives me a chance to take new pictures and add printable recipe cards for your convenience.

Plus it means we get to eat lots of yummy homemade ice cream. I am hearing no complaints about that part from my taste testers!
MiMi's original post from 2016:
With Valentine's Day approaching it appeared that red velvet cake was all over the internet. I suddenly came across a recipe from the Cookie Rookie for a red velvet cake ice cream.

Since I love creating new ice cream recipes in my kitchen, I knew this would be one I just had to try. I have been experimenting with a new ice cream base so I changed up her recipe a little to work for me.
I also decided I liked the idea of making it pink. I added a little more cocoa and a neon pink food color gel.

This ice cream was a great success. Thank goodness I have a family full of willing taste testers.

This recipe makes a ton of ice cream. my 2 quart ice cream maker was full as can be.
When you add the frosting swirl, it grows even more. This batch filled most of a loaf pan plus about 2/3 of a quart container. So it's lots of yumminess!

Along with the pink velvet ice cream, I made some chocolate sour cream cookies decorated with buttercream rosettes. They were so pretty together and made for such a fun treat!
Ice cream maker recommendations:
MiMi has a couple kitchenaid ice cream maker attachments for her stand mixer. She loves them and makes all of her ice cream with them.I recently got a cuisinart ice cream maker. You freeze the bowl ahead of using it much like the kitchenaid attachment.

I have only had it for a couple of months and have made several batches of ice cream already. So far so good and it doesn't take up a ton of room for storage, no more than a food processor.

Pink Velvet Ice Cream with Cream Cheese Icing Swirl
Super creamy ice cream with a swirl of cream cheese frosting. This pink ice cream has a hint of buttermilk, a bit of cocoa and lots of yummm. It is perfect for Valentine's Day or any day.
prep time: 2 H & 45 Mcook time: total time: 2 H & 45 M
ingredients:
Ice Cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 Tablespoon vinegar
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 8 oz brick cream cheese, softened
- 1-2 teaspoons red food coloring gel
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
Cream Cheese Frosting Swirl
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
instructions:
How to cook Pink Velvet Ice Cream with Cream Cheese Icing Swirl
- Put a tablespoon of vinegar in a cup with your whole milk and stir. Set aside for a few minutes as it becomes buttermilk.
- In a food processor or mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cocoa powder and sugar and mix until lump free. Be sure the scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Slowly drizzle in the sweetened condensed milk as you mix until fully combined. Add the milk mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Blend in the food coloring and vanilla.
- Mix in the heavy cream, until just combined. You don't want to add too much air at this point.
- Store in your refrigerator until ready to churn it.
- Freeze as directed in your ice cream maker. It takes about 20-25 minutes in my Kitchenaid attachment. That gave me plenty of time to make my cream cheese icing while the ice cream was freezing.
Cream Cheese Swirl
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix again. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until completely incorporated.
- When your ice cream is finished in the ice cream maker put half of it into your container. Dollop half of the cream cheese icing over it and swirl with a knife. Gently spread the rest of your ice cream over that. Dollop with remaining icing and swirl the top half with a knife.
- Store in your freezer until ready to serve.

ReplyDeleteThank you! It's mine too, that's why I don't every make it! MiMi is the ice cream maker around here. If I started making it myself, there'd be no stopping me (and no pants that fit!)
