Elevate Your Entertaining: Boozy Ice Cream Floats for Adults
When it comes to hosting gatherings, it’s all about creating unforgettable experiences. One way to do this is by serving unique and delicious treats that will leave your guests talking long after the party’s over. Enter the world of boozy ice cream floats, a creative twist on the classic dessert.
A New Take on a Classic
Traditionally, affogato refers to ice cream drenched in espresso. But why not shake things up by swapping out the coffee for a splash of liqueur? The result is an adult version of ice cream floats that offers endless flavor combinations. Imagine butter pecan paired with amaretto or chocolate chip infused with Chambord.
Getting Started
To make these boozy treats, you’ll need just a few ingredients:
- Chocolate Shots: 3 cups chocolate ice cream, 3/4 cup coffee-flavored liqueur (like Kahlúa), and 24 whole hazelnuts
- Vanilla Shots: 3 cups vanilla ice cream, 3/4 cup lemon-flavored liqueur (like Caravella Limoncello), and 24 whole macadamia nuts
Pro Tips for Hosting Success
To avoid last-minute stress, scoop your ice cream onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until assembly time. Take it to the next level by toasting your nuts for a few minutes before adding them to the shots.
Assembly and Serve
Place a small scoop of ice cream in each glass, followed by 1 tablespoon of liqueur and 2 nuts. Serve immediately and enjoy the oohs and aahs from your delighted guests.
With these boozy ice cream floats, you’ll be the host with the most – and the talk of the town. So go ahead, get creative, and raise a glass (or shot glass, rather!) to unforgettable entertaining.
