So I posted a picture on Instagram and asked people what they thought of Red Velvet Chocolate Milk. Based on the picture I posted (darn my love of filters) , 99.99999% of them said NO. No. Not ever. Just… no.
Based on that awesome response you would think that I would scrap the recipe huh?
I just couldn’t. It was too fun and the kids were totally enthralled by it and it was a special occasion and I promise I will only make it once a year and never ever make anything with red food coloring in it ever again.
That last part is a lie. #justsayin
You can see that this is more pink than red, and I am ok with that in this case. Since the red color is achieved primarily through the gel food coloring, I think it’s ok to skimp.
Red Velvet Chocolate Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar, optional
- 3 drops liquid red food coloring
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and mix for about 1 minute.
- Serve immediately.
- The cocoa will start to separate from the milk right away, so I do not recommend storing it. If you do chose to prepare ahead of time, just put in the blender for 15 seconds prior to serving.
Did you make this recipe?
Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
With the addition of the vinegar, I think this really does taste like red velvet. You can, of course, leave it out! And if you wanted to make it healthier you could use all-natural food coloring. Switching out the ingredients for all organic would be even better.
How to Make a Red Velvet Milkshake
Simply add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to get this drink in milkshake form.
My BEST Homemade Chocolate Milk is always a good way to go if you like traditional yumminess. 🙂
Always go with your gut! It’s so fun!!
lol Thanks!
I would totally try this! I love red velvet too much to not try it. 🙂 Plus you could make some seriously fun things with this. Like milkshakes, or even some sort of double red velvet cake. Food for thought. 😉
I love how your mind works. 🙂
It’s best to go with unique! And if the taste testers say it’s a go, then it’s a go!
I loooooove the look of this!! Such a fabulous idea!
Thank you sweety!
What kind of vinegar did you use? I’d love to try this!
I used Apple Cider Vinegar. 🙂
People are cray cray. Red Velvet Chocolate Milk sounds heavenly to me. I must try this.
So, if you chose to use pre-made chocolate milk, like maybe Kroger brand, which is the best pre-made I’ve ever drank, what clor of food coloring would one use to make the milk re/pink? Please respond to my email, thanks.~Roland
Pardon me Amanda, but I am a HUGE fan of red velvet chocolate milk ever since i first tasted it. I first tasted it in Michigan(bear with me, i’m going somewhere with this), at a Christmas party my friend was hosting, and one of the drinks was red velvet chocolate milk. It was so delicious. So from then, till next year(cause they are holiday milks) i bought them. But i ended up having to move to North Carolina and for some reason they dont sell it here at this Target(where they sell them in Michigan), and i got pretty mad last year cause i really wanted some. SO MY REAL QUESTION is if i want to make lets say… a gallon of this for continuous enjoyment with less constant preparations, what would be the steps to make a gallons worth? PS. Thank you for bringing this Holy drink recipe to our households.
lol Well try it first!! See if it is what you remember. I have never had it before, had not even really heard of it… so this is a from-scratch recipe. It might be completely different from what you remember. If it is similar however, I am happy to work with you to make the recipe bigger! 🙂
Sorry, it didnt notify me when you replied. I will give it a try first….i just hope its as good as the actual market patry brand.
So can you post the recipe? Actually it sounds pretty good!
