This red velvet ice cream is created with a cheesecake ice cream base to represent the cream cheese icing component of red velvet cake, and is mixed with the crumbs of some leftover red velvet cake. This is perfect solution if you have too much cake or too many cupcakes but hate to throw food away. You can use plain cake or cupcakes, or, if they are already iced with cream cheese frosting, you can leave that on and just mash them up into crumbs. My feeling is that one can never get enough of cream cheese frosting!
