Ingredients
Scale
Ice Cream Base
- ½ cup red velvet cake mix (toasted to eliminate raw flour risk)
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Optional: red food coloring for bold color
Mix-ins (Optional)
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips or cream cheese baking chips
Instructions
- Toast the Cake Mix
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the red velvet cake mix on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to remove raw flour risks. Let it cool. - Soften the Cream Cheese
Microwave cream cheese for 15-20 seconds until smooth enough to stir. - Prepare the Base Mixture
In a bowl, combine the toasted cake mix and softened cream cheese, stirring into a thick paste. Gradually add milk (2 tablespoons at a time), mixing until smooth. Use a whisk to blend once the mixture turns liquid. - Add Remaining Ingredients
Whisk in the heavy cream, sugar, and food coloring (if using) until the sugar dissolves. - Freeze the Base
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Keep below the max fill line, secure the lid, and freeze for at least 24 hours. - Spin the Ice Cream
Place the frozen pint into the Ninja Creami, secure it, and select the “Ice Cream” function. Re-spin if needed for a smoother texture. - Optional Mix-ins
Add white chocolate chips or baking chips by creating a well in the ice cream, then select the “Mix-In” function.

Tips & Tricks
- Make it dairy-free: Use almond milk and coconut cream instead of dairy.
- Don’t skip toasting the cake mix—it’s safer and enhances the flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness or tang by experimenting with sugar and cream cheese ratios.
Storage
- Store leftover ice cream in the original Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly secured. It will stay fresh for up to 1 week in the freezer.
