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)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup Red Velvet Cake Mix (or crumbled red velvet cake)
- 1/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
Decorations
- Heart-shaped sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the ice cream: Let both the vanilla and red velvet ice creams soften slightly at room temperature for about 5 minutes to make mixing easier without fully melting them.
- Select your cake mix option: If using red velvet cake mix, you can sprinkle it directly over the ice cream layers or mix it with a little melted butter for added texture, forming a crumbly topping.
- Layer the vanilla ice cream: In a serving dish or individual cups, add a layer of vanilla ice cream as the base layer.
- Sprinkle cake mix: Sprinkle a portion of the red velvet cake mix evenly over the vanilla ice cream layer.
- Layer the red velvet ice cream: Add a layer of red velvet ice cream on top of the cake mix layer.
- Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle the white and mini chocolate chips over the red velvet ice cream layer for added texture and flavor.
- Optional swirling: Gently swirl the layers together with a spoon if you prefer a soft, mixed texture, or leave the layers distinct for visual appeal.
- Decorate: Add heart-shaped sprinkles on top for a festive and romantic touch.
- Freeze to set: Place the assembled treat in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls or serve directly from the dish, enjoying this creamy, layered dessert.
Notes
- Allow ice cream to soften slightly for easier layering and mixing.
- You can substitute red velvet ice cream with strawberry or any red/pink-flavored ice cream to suit your taste.
- Mix the cake mix with melted butter for a richer crumb topping if desired.
- Heart-shaped sprinkles are optional but add a cute festive touch perfect for Valentine’s Day or romantic occasions.
- For best texture, do not over-swirl the ice cream layers to maintain the distinct flavors.
- If you don’t have white chocolate chips, use only mini chocolate chips or any chocolate chips of your choice.
