Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons red velvet cake mix
- 2-3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- Red gel food coloring (adjust to desired shade)
- Optional: white chocolate chips or crushed cookies for texture
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Stir in vanilla extract and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add several drops of red gel food coloring and mix in the red velvet cake mix thoroughly.
- Gradually add milk or heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a soft, moist, but non-sticky consistency.
- Stir in white chocolate chips or crushed cookies, if using, for added flavor and texture.
- Optionally, refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes if too sticky to serve.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Adjust red gel food coloring to achieve your preferred shade of red.
- If the dough is too sticky, chilling it beforehand makes it easier to handle.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat dairy products and premium ingredients.
