How To Make Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

Red velvet cake is known for its delectable and smooth taste. When balancing it out with sweet vanilla ice cream, it is a flawless match! This simple dessert is perfect for hosting a get-together, baking with your friends, or even a summer snack. Red velvet ice cream sandwiches are easy to make, following a simple recipe.

Ingredients needed include:

1 Box of red velvet cake mix

2 Eggs

1 stick of Butter

1 tsp. Vanilla Extract

1/4 tsp. Salt

1 Gallon of Vanilla Ice Cream

Before beginning, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While waiting for the oven to heat up, place parchment paper onto a large baking sheet.

First, blend the cake mix with softened butter, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract in a bowl. When everything is combined evenly, the texture will be thick and consistent. Pour the red velvet cake batter onto the baking sheet, spreading it equally to the corners. This will allow it to bake proportionally in a perfect rectangle shape.

Once the batter has been prepared, place it into the oven to bake for 18 to 20 minutes. It should be moist, but still baked completely in the middle. You may test the consistency by poking a toothpick into the cake to test when it is ready. After taking the pan out of the oven, allow it to cool completely for 3 to 5 minutes. Then, with a kitchen knife, cut the sheet cake in half so that the rectangle is split into 2 square pieces.

After the red velvet cake has been sliced to form two parts, spread softened vanilla ice cream onto one of the halves. Place the other half on top, creating one giant ice cream cake.

Put this into the freezer until the ice cream is firm and solid. This should take roughly 2 hours. When you take it out of the freezer, cut the cake into smaller pieces so they are a serving size. Now, your tasty treat is complete: Red Velvet Ice Cream Sandwiches!
