Ice Cream Happy Hour

There are lots of alcohol flavored ice creams on the market, but these don’t typically include alcohol.  The recipes in the book Ice Cream Happy Hour [Amazon affiliate link] by Valerie Lum and Jenise Addison are not just alcohol flavored.  They actually contain alcohol.  The secret is reportedly that they mix the alcohol with gelatin so that it becomes somewhat solid in the finished dessert.

The book features recipes for vanilla with brandy, chocolate with Grand Marnier, Cookies and Cream with Vodka, Caramel with Spiced Rum, Maple with Bourbon, Manhattan, White Russian, Whiskey Sour, Mojito, Lemon Drop, and Strawberry Daiquiri.  In all, there are 50 recipes in the book.

I’m looking forward to picking up a copy of the book and trying out some of the recipes.  The folks on Gizmodo claim the White Russian recipe is delicious.
