What is better than a glass of margarita? A glass of margarita ice cream, of course! Enjoy your favorite cocktail without getting a buzz. Refreshing and delicious, this homemade ice cream is the perfect treat for adults after a long workday.
With a glass of this margarita ice cream, every hour is a happy hour! Best of all, it's super easy to make - no ice cream maker needed.
On hot summer nights, I like to sip on my dinner. I sit in my backyard with a cold glass of dinner in one hand and my camera in another and observe dozens of butterflies, birds, and squirrels chased by our dogs.
This summer just took a whole new level when I discovered Margarita Ice Cream. Oh summer, I love you so! What better dessert to accompany those nights than this one?
Ok, maybe a rum and raisin ice cream is a good substitute. Anything with booze, really. Did you know you can make frozen yogurt with wine and Greek yogurt? That one is going on my to-try list for sure.
Homemade ice cream is so easy to make and this one was way too easy to eat. This express dessert-delirious should not be served to underage children. More for us, right?
Serve this melt-in-your-mouth margarita to your Cinco de Mayo party guests for dessert. A great finish to a great event!
Ingredients:
- condensed milk
- heavy cream
- lime juice
- triple sec (such as Cointreau)
- tequila
- Lime zest
- sugar or salt for garnish
Directions:
- Put the milk, cream, lime juice, triple sec, and tequila into a large bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. It should be thick and smooth but not too stiff.
- Scrape into an airtight container to freeze overnight. Because of alcohol, it will not freeze too hard and it will melt quickly.
- Serve in margarita glasses with sugar/salt dipped rims. Garnish with lime zest. Cheers!

Thank you! I like more tequila too, but alcohol doesn't freeze, so the more you add, the softer your ice cream will be. 🙂
