Red Velvet Parfaits

Hello friends, Canada day is just right around the corner and i’m so excited!! 

This is by far my favorite time of year, people are out and about enjoying the nicer weather and community events are happening everywhere. 

And the biggest celebration of the year besides New Years is about to happen. I wanted to create something special for my guests that are coming over in the next few days.

So I decided to take the typically a red velvet cake to a new level and created four of these decadent red velvet parfaits that highlight the red and white colours of our flag.

These parfaits are just perfect for Canada day, however they can also be made for Valentines day to.  A super simple to make dessert that is sure to impress any guests you may be serving this too. 

To make this you will want to start by washing and putting the cherries.

Once that is done you will want to bake the cake, cool it and cube it.

You can prepare the Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting by whipping the whipped cream to stiff peaks.

Then in another bowl make the cream cheese frosting.

Once those two have been whisked you will fold both the mixtures together which will create the most tasty Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting that will be placed into the parfits.

Fresh lambert cherries, red velvet cake and a decadent whipped cream cheese frosting is what makes these so special.

I used a easy to bake red velvet cake mix where i just added eggs, water and oil. Of course you can make your red velvet from scratch if you have a favorite one in mind.


Red Velvet Ice Cream

Are you as BIG of a Red Velvet Fan as me? Well then, you’re in for treat! I’m finally ready to share my family’s favorite recipe for Red Velvet ICE CREAM!! 

You cannot find this in stores guys, it only can be made in your kitchen. And your going to want to keep it under wraps, because it will be gone in no time.

Anyone who has ever tasted this ice cream has gone nuts. And rightfully so, it’s the BEST Red Velvet ice cream out there. And I’m so proud to say that I have come up with it. 

Because ice cream machines vary between 1 and 2 quarts capacity, I have create this recipe for my 2 quart machine. If your wanting only 1 quart of ice cream, just simply DIVIDE the recipe in half or use a 1 quart machine. 

The machine I used is listed below in my amazon picks, it’s the best. If you end up giving it a try I would love to know what you think, let me know in the comments below. 

If you’re having a gathering and would like to serve this to your guests, then why not bake an extra “Red Velvet Cake”. Serve each guest with one slice of cake and one scoop of ice cream. Makes about fourteen ½-cup servings.

Strawberry & Red Velvet Kefir Milkshake

Got a Craving for a Milkshake?

How about a RED VELVET Milkshake?

One day I was having a serious sweet tooth and was craving Red Velvet Cake, then i thought why not make a Red Velvet Milkshake. So i did, and now this recipe is on my list of all time favorite “Red Velvet” creations.  Plus its much healthier than any regular milkshake since it contains Kefir Yogurt as opposed to ice cream. Kefir Yogurt is great, because it contains plenty of nutrients and probiotics that are good for you gut health. The secret is adding in a whole cup of Strawberry Kefir, and 3/4 cup of milk to make this the up most creamiest shake for 2. I hope you enjoy!!

Kitchen Essentials:

To make the Milkshake:

  1. Start by baking your Red Velvet cake according to its directions, allow it to cool down before crumbling one cup into your blender.
  2. Add in all your ingredients to the blender and blend untill smooth.
  3. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy!
