This milkshake is super creamy and insanely delicious!
Valentine’s Day is one of my most favorite Holidays! Every year I try to make the day special for my man by making some of his favorite foods (and by foods I obviously mean treats) and by giving him special little gifts. This year, I already know that my truffle brownies (the non-mint version) will be making an appearance since I have been forced to make a batch every. single. week. He’s insane! Unfortunately, this creamy red velvet milkshake isn’t something Mike can consume since it contains dairy but I am absolutely head over heels for it!
HOW upsetting is the fact that he can’t have ice cream?! I don’t know what I would do with myself. It’s literally like my lifeline. And basically the reason I started a new diet today. UGH. I’m really trying to stick with it this time. I just want ice cream. And red velvet milkshakes.
This shake is creamy, dreamy red velvet heaven! I use a whole cup of milk in these milkshakes because adding cake mix makes it taste very thick even though the consistency isn’t thick. It will completely make sense when you take your first delicious sip. I swear, when I took these pictures during the day by myself….. with nobody to share this with.. you can guess what happened. I had to FORCE myself to stop drinking and dump it down the sink – talk about TORTURE – because I knew I would be sick after ingesting 3 cups of a milkshake. It’s just sooooo goooood.
This milkshake is just so addicting, you won’t be able to stop after one sip!

Creamy Red Velvet Milkshake
Ingredients
- 6 scoops chocolate ice cream
- 3/4-1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup red velvet cake mix
- red food coloring optional
- whipped cream for garnish optional
Instructions
- Combine ice cream, milk, and cake mix in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Start with 3/4 cup of milk and go from there. (I usually use 1 cup because even if the milkshake is very thin, it tastes thicker due to the cake mix.) If using, add red food coloring until desired color is achieved. Pour into serving cups and garnish with whipped cream if desired.

This looks incredible! We went to the local Dairy Queen the other day because they were advertising a Red Velvet shake-ish thing. It was so bad 🙁 I think this recipe is just what we need to make up for that fail, and I already have everything on hand 🙂 Thank you!
This is not good for my “no more sugar” diet. I love red velvet anything. We have a daughter that can’t have dairy like Mike, she has a severe dairy allergy, and I feel so bad eating ice cream and cheese when she can’t. She has been good at finding alternatives.
Today people that have dairy allergies are so lucky because there are so many alternatives! You can for sure make this with a lactose free ice cream too 🙂
Milkshakes are such a treat for me. Red Velvet anything is also a treat. I going to try this recipe very soon. I love those long shake glasses. They’re old-fashioned looking!
I’m^
Seriously just bookmarked this! This looks heavenly. I am a HUGE red velvet fan and this is perfect the upcoming weekend. Now if only I had someone to share it with 😉 Kidding, more for me!
Haha! Yep, more for you is what I say!!
LOL icecream and popcorn are pretty much my lifeline. I think we’d get along juuuust fine. There’s a new milkshake shop that just opened downtown – not too far from me. I’m dying to go. You can customize your own! I can’t believe it. I’m excited lolol

This Creamy Milkshake looks so delicious & so addicting as well for sure. Looking in to the instructions, sounds like an easy to do yummy recipe for sure. I would love to try this one for my husband & kids.
This looks absolutely wonderful. I never in a million years would have thought of using a cake mix in a milkshake!
Oh yum, this sounds and looks so delicious! This would have been the perfect treat for Valentine’s with the red and white colour.
I love red velvet anything! This would look perfect in mini cups on a dessert table at my daughters next party. Thank you for sharing.
Definitely!!
Did you mean just the cake mix powder or am I suppose to make the cake mix first and pour in the liquid???
Just the powder! I will update the recipe to state that.
