1

Choose Your Flavor

First, decide what flavor you want to infuse in your ice cream. Options like red velvet, chocolate velvet, or even velvet cake-inspired flavors are all great choices. Get creative and let your taste buds guide you!

2

Create the Base

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of heavy cream, 1 cup of whole milk, and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar.

3

Add the Flavorings

Now it's time to infuse that velvety flavor into your ice cream base. For a chocolate velvet flavor, add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. If you're going for a red velvet flavor, mix in 2 tablespoons of red food coloring and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. For a velvet cake-inspired taste, sprinkle in some crushed velvet cake or 1/2 cup of cake mix. Mix the flavorings well with the base.

4

Chill and Freeze

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can't wait. Once chilled, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it to achieve the perfect velvety texture.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the freshly churned ice cream into a lidded container and freeze for a couple of hours to firm up. Then, scoop and serve your velvety creation in a bowl or cone. Grab a spoon and savor the luxurious creaminess!
