Has anyone here tried this recipe or the afore-posted vanilla bourbon butter pecan ice cream?

3/4 of a cup of bourbon was enough to leave us wheezing over the ice cream maker after a whiff of this potent freezable.

Even once frozen, 3/4 cup of bourbon + 3 cups of dairy = gelato that is the culinary equivalent of icy-hot… the strange sensation of mint, then followed by hot bourbon several seconds later as the gelato warms in your mouth.

I would recommend maybe 1/4 cup of bourbon.

The gelato did have the marvelous elastic, creamy, almost glutenous consistency, which probably was helped in large part by the alcohol.

I love gelato, but it is difficult to find a shop that makes it in my small town in S.C. so, I have to make it myself when I get a craving. I appreciate all of the recipes I can get my hands on. Check out this "cool" article about gelato at www.foodista.com
