Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Easy to Make. Just 10-15 minutes and a simple list of ingredients is all you need to make this gorgeous and delicious ice cream.

No Churn Recipe. No churn ice cream recipes are quick and easy and they don’t require an ice cream maker. All you need is an electric mixer – either stand or hand held is fine – to whip the cream until thick and fluffy.

Gorgeous Red and White Swirl. In today’s recipe, you’ll be making cream cheese ice cream and red velvet ice cream, then swirling them together for a red and white marbled look.

No churn red velvet ice cream.

See the recipe card at the end of the post for the full ingredients list and instructions.

Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese. Since red velvet cake is almost always frosted with cream cheese frosting, then I wanted to incorporate cream cheese into the ice cream, for a rich and tangy flavor. You can also use mascarpone cheese – both work equally well.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk. Sweetens the ice cream and gives it a creamy, smooth consistency.
  • Vanilla. You can use either vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract. Or, if you have whole vanilla beans, you can scrape the seeds out and use those, too.
  • Salt. Balances the sweetness.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream. Whipped to soft, fluffy peaks, the whipped cream makes the ice cream rich, smooth and creamy.
  • Cocoa Powder. Red velvet cake always has a little cocoa powder, which helps contribute to the red color, as well as to give it a subtle chocolate flavor. The cocoa powder will help to deepen the color in the red ice cream.
  • Food Coloring. You’ll need “super red” gel food coloring for the red ice cream.
  • Red Velvet Cake. Crumbled red velvet cake in the red ice cream adds more flavor and a bit of texture that you’ll just love. I saved two pieces of the red velvet bundt cake I made recently to use in mine. But you can also just buy two individual slices of red velvet cake or two cupcakes in the bakery section of most major grocery stores.
