(#2) RED VELVET: Valentine's Delight

Scoopsies celebrated Valentine's Day by churning our second flavor: red velvet ice cream.  

RED VELVET ICE CREAM:

1½ cups heavy cream

¾ cup and 3 tbsp. sugar

1½ tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder

6 large egg yolks 

1¼ cups buttermilk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

natural food coloring (beets are perfect for this!)

VELVET SWIRL

4 oz. cream cheese, room temp.

2½  tbsp. unsalted butter, room temp.

1¼ cups confectioners sugar, sifted

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

2 tbsp. heavy cream

Recipe from Annie Eats

This cake (or cupcakes, if you're into being cute!) translates perfectly into an ice cream flavor.  Which leads us to the question: Why make cake when you can make ice cream?  

Happy Valentine's Day!  C}>
