Even without a healthy dose of Kahlua, there is something about a bowl of ice cream that feels a little naughty. The kind of treat that you absolutely savor, looking forward to at the end of a meal. But add in a splash (ok, maybe a little bit more than a splash) of coffee liqueur, and you’ve got something decadent that just cannot be matched.
I usually use a tiny bit of vodka in my ice cream recipes, just to slightly lower the freezing temperature. I’ve had a number of readers ask whether the recipes would work without alcohol, if you want to serve them to kids. Generally, my answer is yes — however, with this one, it is (quite obviously) just not meant for children. You’re not cooking off any of the alcohol in this recipe, so serve this at your next adult’s-only dinner party. Or better yet, on your next girls’ night out!

This makes me super happy that I am 21+. I can legally indulge in this delicious treat!
How does adding the vodka change the texture of the ice cream? Does it make it softer or harder?

haha, kahlua tends to hit me hard, but maybe I could handle it in ice cream form

Joanne — It make the ice cream softer! It lowers the freezing temperature, so it helps stop the ice cream from getting too hard and frozen!

It’s funny, I would have never thought of putting liquor in my ice cream, but now that I see it here, it sounds amazing! I love kahlua and I love ice cream. This seems like a match made in heaven!
