Valentine Shake
If you love Red Velvet Cake and milkshakes (like we do), then this red velvet milkshake is calling your name!
Our kids love milkshakes anytime, but this one is especially fun around Valentine’s Day. It’s the perfect sweet treat to share with someone special. Whether you want to surprise the kids after school or serve it after dinner – we promise it will be a hit!
The serving size can depend on what you like. We went with these 8 ounce canning jars, placed the rims in melted hot fudge, and then dipped them onto a plate of sprinkles. It was a HUGE hit with the kids!
These milkshakes are delicious and sure to put a smile on your face!
WHY WE LOVE IT:
- The rim! The hot fudge dipped rim covered in sprinkles is the perfect touch to make these milkshakes extra special.
- For special occasions. We especially love these for holidays like Valentine’s Day, but they would be fun anytime.
- So quick and easy. Just blend! Make a lot or make a little, either way you’ll be sipping away in minutes.

Recipe FAQ
Store the leftover milkshake in a freezer-safe cup, preferably with a lid, and keep it in the freezer for about a week. Let it thaw enough to mix, or reblend. You can also make red velvet milkshake popsicles.
When the recipes call for a few tablespoons of cake mix, what do you do with the remaining cake mix?
