Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream
- 1 pint Vanilla Ice Cream (or your favorite flavor)
- 1 pint Red Velvet Ice Cream (or strawberry or any other flavor of your choice)
Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup Red Velvet Cake Mix (or crumbled red velvet cake)
Chocolate Chips and Decorations
- 1/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
- Heart-shaped sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ice Cream: Soften both vanilla and red velvet ice creams slightly at room temperature to make layering easier.
- Prepare the Red Velvet Cake Mix: If using cake mix, you can sprinkle it directly on top or mix it with a little melted butter to add texture and richness.
- Layer the Ice Cream: In your serving dish or individual cups, alternate layers of vanilla and red velvet ice cream. You can gently swirl them together for a soft blend or keep the layers distinct based on your preference.
- Add the Cake Crumbles or Cake Mix: Sprinkle the prepared red velvet cake mix or crumbled cake evenly over the layered ice cream.
- Add the Chocolate Chips: Distribute the white chocolate chips and mini chocolate chips over the top layer for extra flavor and texture.
- Freeze the Treats: Place the assembled treats in the freezer for at least 2 hours to firmly set the layers and blend the flavors.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, optionally decorate with heart-shaped sprinkles for a festive appearance.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy this indulgent and celebratory dessert with friends and family.
Notes
- Use any ice cream flavors you prefer for a customized twist on the classic red velvet theme.
- If you use crumbled cake instead of cake mix, ensure it’s fresh for optimal texture.
- Softening ice cream before layering helps achieve smoother layers and easier handling.
- Heart-shaped sprinkles are optional but add a charming decorative touch, especially around Valentine’s Day.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with vegan ice cream and dairy-free chocolate chips.
