Make Vodka Ice Cream

Adding vodka to ice cream so that it sets properly and tastes smooth takes a little know-how but it's sure worth the effort! For those who enjoy a dessert that packs a little punch, this is the ideal ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 600ml, 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened (choose good quality ice cream)
  • 75ml, 3 fl oz vodka (choose good quality vodka)
  • Grated coconut or twisted citrus peel to garnish

Steps

  1. Assemble the items needed and the ingredients.
  2. Place both the ice cream and the vodka into the food processor or blender. Blend or process until completely blended.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into the container. Place into the freezer to refreeze for 6-8 hours.
    • It can stay in longer if you want to make a day so ahead; just don't make it a shorter time.
  4. Serve. Scoop into ice cream glasses and sprinkle either grated coconut or twisted citrus peel over the top to garnish.

Tips

  • Once you've tried this version, start changing the flavors. Use your favorite flavored vodkas. Also consider adding other elements such as chocolate chips, raisins, honeycomb crunch pieces, dried fruit etc. These could be incorporated into the ice cream itself or simply sprinkled over the top as topping.

Warnings

  • Do not drive any vehicle or machinery if you have indulged too much or had any other alcoholic drinks along with the ice cream!

Things You'll Need

  • Blender or food processor
  • Freezable container for ice cream
