Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream (slightly softened)
  • 1/2 cup cold whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 drops red food coloring (optional)
  • Whipped cream and red velvet cake crumbs or red sprinkles, for topping

Method
 

  1. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge 10 minutes ahead so it blends without lumps.
  2. Add the ice cream, milk, cream cheese, cocoa powder, vanilla, and food coloring to a blender.
  3. Blend on high for 20-30 seconds until completely smooth and evenly colored.
  4. Taste and adjust: a touch more cocoa for depth or milk for a thinner shake.
  5. Pour into a chilled glass and top with whipped cream and cake crumbs or sprinkles.
