Red Velvet and White Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Ice Cream is quite possibly my favourite ice cream I’ve ever made. It’s a bit step heavy with the timing for the swirls but it’s so worth it. You will love this no egg cheesecake ice cream. Layers of Red Velvet Cheesecake Ice Cream mixed with layers of White Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream. It’s pure heaven!

Red Velvet and White Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Ice Cream is quite possibly my favourite ice cream I've ever made. It's a bit step heavy with the timing for the swirls but it's so worth it. You will love this no egg cheesecake ice cream. Layers of Red Velvet Cheesecake Ice Cream mixed with layers of White Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream. It's pure heaven!
Ingredients
For the Red Velvet Cheesecake Ice Cream:
  • 4 oz of chocolate melted and cooled but not hardened
  • 1 brick 8 oz of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 to 5 drops of red food colouring
For the White Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream:
  • 4 oz white chocolate melted and cooled but not hardened
  • 1 brick 8 oz of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup of whole milk
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
Instructions
For the Red Velvet Cheesecake Ice Cream:
  1. Melt your chocolate and allow to cool a bit.
  2. In your stand mixer bowl combine the cream cheese and chocolate, whisk until combined thoroughly.
  3. Add your whole milk and sugar, whisk until sugar dissolves.
  4. Add you heavy cream and whisk on high until it thickens.
  5. Add food colouring carefully and whisk until combined.
  6. Cover the bowl and pop in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight.
  7. Pull out of the fridge and transfer liquid to ice cream maker.
  8. Turn on and allow to churn till thick, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  9. Pop in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, to let it get hard but not solid. You're going to pull it out to make the swirls while it's still slightly soft.
For the White Chocolate Cheesecake Ice Cream:
  1. Melt your chocolate and allow to cool a bit.
  2. In your stand mixer bowl combine the cream cheese and chocolate, whisk until combined thoroughly.
  3. Add your whole milk and sugar, whisk until sugar dissolves.
  4. Add you heavy cream and whisk on high until it thickens.
  5. Cover the bowl and pop in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight.
  6. Pull out of the fridge and transfer liquid to ice cream maker.
  7. Turn on and allow to churn till thick, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  8. Pop in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours, to let it get hard but not solid. You're going to pull it out to make the swirls while it's still slightly soft.
Putting it all together:
  1. This is a pure timing thing. You need to keep an eye on them to make sure they are starting to harden but they are still soft enough to drag a knife through as you swirl.
  2. Once you have them at the right consistency pull them out of the freezer.
  3. Use a tin (works really well for ice cream) pan and drop ice cream ice in alternating rows.
  4. Take a knife and drag it through the ice cream to form swirl patterns. No right or wrong way, just have fun.
  5. Cover the tin pan and pop back in the freezer overnight.
  6. Take out of freezer a few minutes before you're ready to serve it.
  7. Serve with a big old cheesecake ice cream smile. With slightly pink teeth from the red velvet! You're welcome!
Recipe Notes
A lot of the time is inactive time. This is one of those hurry up and wait recipes. Lots of freezing time between steps.

    • I love red velvet ice cream. I think I have 3 or 4 recipes for it now on the site. Red velvet it wildly addictive.

  9. I love fruity ice creams, strawberry, mango, pineapple (see I said fruity) as well as sorbets of all types. My other passion is any ice cream which is coffee flavoured like coffee, tiramisu, mocha almond fudge . . . you get the picture 😉

  12. Love the color on this! Great food styling, too. And the recipe looks terrific! The best thing about making your own ice cream is you can create all sorts of flavor combos that are impossible to buy at stores. This is wonderful – thanks.

  14. Yay for Ice Cream Week!! My favorite flavor? That’s a toughie, but I think my favorite is dark chocolate, but I also love salted caramel. Of course, add the two together and I’m in heaven 🙂

  15. Did you have to ask such a hard question? LOL… I can’t even begin to tell you what flavor is my favorite because I love ALLLLLLLLLL ice cream flavors!!! So yummy! If I had to choose just one… Hmm…. It would be strawberry cheesecake!

  29. Kim, this is insanity! In the best way! I love this super creative recipe. I can’t wait to see what else you come up with this week, and THANK YOU for doing so much organizing, emailing, facebook commenting, and general time-sucking stuff. You rock!

    • Ha, thanks so much Elizabeth. I had so much fun doing ice cream week. Next week we’ll have to gear up sooner and make it more epic.

  31. Awww… wish I could had joined. I just couldn’t my ice cream making act together this week. I can’t wait to look at everyone’s frosty creations. This red velvet and white chocolate swirl cheesecake… WHAT!!! Hand me a spoon and stand back!

    • Oh man, we somehow dropped the ball with some people getting into the FB group. The transition from doing things via email to doing them on FB did not go well. We managed to lose about 5 people in the process. I felt so bad. I think with my son showing up and all the chaos of summer I just lost all control. We need a better checklist system for next time. I blame summer. Mini-me is off for almost 5 months for summer vacation so by the end I start to lose my mind. I’m hoping once routine sets in again I can get organized. I’m making some cool organization boards for my office. Hopefully it helps.

  33. Non-Dairy – coconut milk, cashews (soaked), vanilla bean, maple syrup in the ice cream maker – my friend made it and it was amazing!
