My number one cocktail in ice cream form. It's as uniquely delicious as it sounds. Super creamy, velvety- smooth and lime-y, with waves of honey and micro-studs of jalapenos. Bonus? You can make it as spicy as possible; the ice cream cools the spice. You shouldn't de-seed your peppers before mincing... The tiny green "kicks" of heat make this ice cream completely special.
Another great aspect of this recipe is that you can make it whether or not you have an ice cream maker. It turns out scrumptious either way. Cheers!
"Given the alcohol in this recipe it isn't suitable for kids. More for you, the adult, though! Winning."
Notes: If using an ice cream maker, freeze the base of the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. You will need a hand-held or stand mixer if doing a' no-churn style.
