MARGARITA ICE CREAM



Margarita Ice Cream image

This is a cinch to make, and easy-easy-easy to eat. It is, now that I come to think of it, in effect a no-churn version of the ice cream in Forever Summer. If you want to serve it in glasses dipped in sugar and salt, by all means do. But it is so good, that even as someone is not a committed ice cream eater and no kind of a drinker, I find I can spoon it straight into my mouth from the container I've chilled it in. In other words: no decorative touches or embellishments are remotely needed. This is truly the express way to dessert-deliriousness.

Steps:

  • Pour the lime juice, tequila and orange liqueur into a bowl and stir in the sugar to dissolve.

MARGARITA ICE CREAM



Margarita Ice Cream image

I saw Nigella Lawson make this on the Food Network. As a firm believer in Margaritas, I had to try it. Plus, it looked very easy. Turns out if was. Nigella Lawson stirred hers up and put it in the freezer, no machine necessary. I do use my countertop ice cream maker, the ingredients make just the right amount for the smaller countertop machine. I don't think there is enough alcohol in this recipe to cause concern. Nevertheless, I do not serve it to children.

Categories     Ice Cream & Ices

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup(s) lime juice
2 tablespoon(s) tequila
3 tablespoon(s) orange liquer (i use regular old triple sec)
1 1/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
2 cup(s) heavy cream
NOTE:
- for some reason, i like to throw in a little crushed pinepapple while the freezer is going.
- (since i do most of my shopping at aldi and they don't always have heavy cream, i often substitute half & half.)

Steps:

  • Pour the lime juice, tequila and orange liqueur into a bowl and stir in the sugar to dissolve.
  • Add the cream and then softly whip until thick and smooth but not stiff.
  • Spoon into an airtight container to freeze overnight, or use your ice cream maker as directed. This ice cream does not need ripening (softening before serving), as it will not freeze too hard. I generally take it straight from the freezer bowl to a dish and begin eating immediately1
