Red velvet ice cream cupcakes are a stress-free dessert.  Sometimes we simply don't have time to bake our favorite cake or stir a creamy custard, but with a little help from store-bought ingredients you can still make something special.  For these cupcakes, ice cream is swirled with strawberry syrup and placed into chocolate cups.  If you really love cream cheese frosting with red velvet, you can also add a 1/4 cup of softened cream cheese to your ice cream mixture.
