As we savor the last bites of our favorite Taco Tuesday dinner, what better way to end the feast than with a refreshing scoop of homemade ice cream? Not just any ice cream, but an easy-to-make vanilla ice cream enhanced with the complex flavors of Licor 43, all served over a warm waffle. This dessert is not only a delightful summer treat but also the perfect palate cleanser after a hearty taco meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Step 1: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 2: Add the vanilla extract and Licor 43 to the mixture. Licor 43, a delightful Spanish liqueur, adds a rich vanilla-citrus flavor that pairs wonderfully with the base of our ice cream.
Step 3: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the churn time – this typically takes about 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 4: Once your ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, you can serve it immediately for a creamy treat, or you can transfer it to an airtight container and freeze it for about 2-4 hours for a firmer texture.
To Serve:
Prepare fresh waffles according to your favorite recipe or use store-bought ones for convenience. Place a warm waffle on a plate, and scoop your homemade Licor 43-infused vanilla ice cream on top. The contrast of the cold, creamy ice cream with the warm, crispy waffle creates a dessert that is simply irresistible.
This dessert is the perfect ending to your Taco Tuesday, providing a sweet, creamy counterpart to the savory and spicy notes of tacos. The addition of Licor 43 gives the ice cream an extra dimension, turning a simple vanilla ice cream into a gourmet treat. The soft texture of the ice cream combined with the crispy waffle creates a symphony of flavors and textures in every bite. Enjoy this delicious dessert on a warm summer evening, and you’ll find it’s the perfect way to conclude any meal.
