Red Velvet Ice Cream Recipe from SCOOP ADVENTURES: THE BEST ICE CREAM OF THE 50 STATES
by Lindsay Clendaniel Page Street Publishing/March 2014
MAKES 1 GENEROUS QUART (940ML)
Baked desserts are often great inspiration for ice cream flavors. One delicious inspiration for ice cream is red velvet cake. My favorite part of red velvet cake is the cream cheese icing, so this scoop is a version of red velvet cake with pieces of cake mixed into a cream cheese ice cream base, creating the perfect frozen alternative to a classic Southern cake.
3 red velvet cupcakes, frosting removed
12 oz (340g) cream cheese
1 ½ cups (355ml) sour cream
1 cup (200g) sugar
½ cup (118ml) heavy cream
½ cup (118ml) buttermilk
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Prepare your favorite red velvet cupcake recipe or buy your favorite prepared cupcakes. If you choose to bake cupcakes, allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding to the ice cream.
Cut the cream cheese into small pieces and place in a blender or food processor. Add the sour cream, sugar, cream, buttermilk, vanilla and salt and blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours. Once chilled, pour the ice cream base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. Chop the cupcakes into 1/2-inch (1.3cm) cubes. When churning is complete, gently fold in the cupcake pieces. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and top with a few pieces of cupcake. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
