Recipe Description
No churn ice cream may have been the best thing I have ever done for myself…and my friends agree. Never in a million years would I think that creating ice cream was so simple and yet so dangerous. Dangerous. Yes, it is. Because the calories are definitely not forgiving, but I swear it’s worth every.last.bite.
When I introduced my salted caramel no-churn ice cream to the blog a few months ago, people lost their shiz! And can you blame them?
I have become a sort of no-churn ice cream mad scientist if you will. Combining flavors faster than I can photograph them. I sometimes have this ice cream on my mind before I go to sleep…and I get out of bed, grab my phone and start taking notes for the ultimate flavor combos:
Raspberries + Dark chocolate= Ultimate date night ice cream
Creamy Strawberry + Rhubarb=Southern Style
Creamy Peach + Bourbon= Amanda’s Style (Amanda is a friend from work who claimed this is her favorite)
Vanilla Bean+Coffee= Morning Coffee
This is how my brain works. I sleep with my phone right next to me so that I can open up my notes page and add my recipe ideas to my never-ending list. Such is the life of a kitchen (and all around) lunatic like me.
This little piece of heaven was born out of yet another random experiment. I was creating new and exciting grilled cheeses in my kitchen for a client and really wanted some out of the box ideas. I always loved the combination of apples and cheese and figured that would make a pretty fantastic grilled cheese. My husband has been obsessed with whiskey and scotch for the past few years and so I decided to use some of his $100 year old whiskey to infuse the apples with some flavor. He may have killed me if he knew. But it was worth it. The apples were sweet, earthy, smoky and tart. Perfect combination.
These whiskey apples reminded me of a drunken apple pie. And so I decided to add some crunchy short bread cookies in there to add to my apple pie deliciousness. However, this was of course not enough. I added an incredible salted whiskey caramel that pretty much changed. my. life. This was a ridiculous success.
I brought this over to my friend Alex’s house for his birthday. Needless to say, by the time hubs and I arrived…they were beyond ready for dessert…and by that I mean they were pretty inebriated.
“Here, I brought you whiskey. And whiskey apple pie ice cream for dessert,” and handed him his gifts.
“Woah that’s a pretty creative flavor, where did you buy the ice cream?!” He asked.
“Alex, that’s insulting. I made it. Just for you.”
“BS. You did not make this. You are full of it.”
“Happy birthday Alex, I am going to take that as the ultimate compliment from you because clearly it is just so unbelievably good that you do not think I could possibly come up with this…but for the record I did.”
Go ahead… try it out…see if everyone calls you a fake
