My favorite ice cream shop has all sorts of fantastic flavors that you wouldn’t find in a grocery store ice cream case.

Peaches and cream, chocolate malt crunch and red velvet are a few of my very favorite indulgences.

Of course, hitting up that ice cream shop right now is still off the table. But making ice cream at home is easier than you might think!

The difference between making this red velvet cake ice cream and other no churn ice creams is that you’re adding red velvet cake.

Once it is fluffy, gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipping cream with a spatula until it is just combined. Then gently fold in the cake crumbs.

Scoop the whole mixture into a cold 9×5 loaf pan and wrap it tightly with cling wrap. Freeze for 4 to 8 hours or overnight.

Before serving, take the ice cream out o the freezer and let it rest for a minute on the counter. Then enjoy!
