BOURBON ICE CREAM



Bourbon Ice Cream image

The brown sugar in this decadent bourbon ice cream gives a hint of caramel flavor, which complements the bourbon. When the custard is still liquid, before it goes into the ice cream maker, add more or less bourbon to suite your taste. -Peggy Woodward, Taste of Home Senior Food Editor
