Pink velvet ice cream is creamy with just a hint of chocolate and a swirl of cream cheese frosting. If you like red velvet cake you are going to love this recipe for homemade pink velvet ice cream.
This super creamy pink ice cream has a hint of buttermilk, a bit of cocoa and lots of yummm. It is perfect for Valentine’s Day or any day.
This recipe was originally shared in 2016. At the time MiMi had an ice cream maker but I didn’t.
I got a new ice cream maker for Christmas, so I’ve been having fun updating her old posts. It gives me a chance to take new pictures and retest the recipes.
Plus it means we get to eat lots of yummy homemade ice cream. I am hearing no complaints about that part from my taste testers!

How Much Ice Cream Does it Make?
This recipe makes a ton of ice cream. My 2 quart ice cream maker was full as can be.
When you add the frosting swirl, it grows even more. This batch filled most of a loaf pan plus about 2/3 of a quart container. So it’s lots of yumminess!
Along with the pink velvet ice cream, I made some chocolate sour cream cookies decorated with buttercream rosettes. They were so pretty together and made for such a fun treat!
Once you fall in love with making homemade ice cream, the flavor possibilities are endless. You should also try making fruity blueberry ice cream, or something different like maple bacon ice cream.
