In Singapore, we love our desserts, but what about mixing alcohol with ice cream? The combination is a fantastic way to elevate your sweet treat, but it needs some finesse. Here’s how it works:
1. Temperature:
Alcohol lowers the freezing point of ice cream, making it softer or even preventing it from freezing if too much is added. For the best results, keep your alcohol-infused ice cream at around 0°C.
2. Alcohol Type & Percentage:
Not all alcohols are created equal when it comes to freezing. Low-alcohol options like wine or Baileys work best. For stronger spirits like whiskey or rum, limit it to about 1-2 tablespoons per 1.5 liters of ice cream to maintain the texture.
3. Taste:
Alcohol can enhance the richness of the ice cream, adding a pleasant warmth and depth to the flavor. Whether it's a hint of wine or the smooth touch of Baileys, it elevates your dessert into a gourmet indulgence.
