I would catalogue this ice cream like a perfect adult ice cream. There’s coffee, booze and brownie involved, which makes it pretty perfect!

It’s one of those flavors that you won’t find in the stores, it’s no regular ice cream, and it definitely doesn’t taste like one!

Caramel Bourbon Oreo Ice Cream

This is the perfect addition to your holiday dinner table. Once again, booze takes over this delicious dessert! the pairing of caramel and bourbon makes one of my favorite flavor combos, with the flavors complimenting each other in a delicious way.

To give it a bit of crunchy flavor, I added Oreos to the mix, and who doesn’t like Oreos? they give a chocolatey and crunchy flavor to this creamy ice cream.

Mexican Hot Chocolate Tequila Ice Cream

The name of this ice cream tells it all! it’s an ice cream version of a Hot chocolate, but lets make it Mexican and with a kick of tequila.

Mexican hot chocolate is spicier, with a more intense chocolate flavor and with a more granular texture compared with regular hot chocolate. Just like that, this ice cream has cinnamon and cayenne pepper, and the best part, tequila to round all of the flavors up.

This ice cream has a combination of amazing fall flavors, with banana, caramel, walnuts and bourbon. What’s not to like?

This has quickly become a holiday favorite! with a creamy texture, crunchy chunks of walnuts, buttery caramel and the bourbon that takes it to the next level! its the perfect fall dessert. Plus, its made in around 20 minutes!

Expert tips for making the perfect no churn ice cream

• Freeze the metal bowl and whisk attachment for 10 minutes before whipping the heavy cream for a quicker process.
• You can customize the texture of your ice cream! For a creamier ice cream, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. For a firmer ice cream beat it until stiff peaks form.
• Make sure your ice cream mixture is very well covered -in an airtight container- before going into the freezer. This avoids having ice crystals and freezer burn
• Let set your ice cream in the freezer for at least 6 hours before serving. If you’re freezing in a loaf pan, make sure to cover very well with a plastic wrap.

Make the Banana Bourbon and Pumpkin Ice cream for your Thanksgiving dinner. Or the Cranberry and candy cane Ice creams for your Christmas table. And the alcohol added ice creams for New Year’s. I bet all of them will be a success!
