Tequila Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Make topping:
• Blend flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until combined well. Add butter and blend until mixture forms large clumps. Transfer to a bowl and work in pecans with your fingertips.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Make filling:
• Whisk together sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Peel, quarter, and core apples, then slice 1/2 inch thick. Add apples to sugar mixture along with lemon juice and orange zest and toss until combined well.
• Bake crisp:
• Spread apples in a lightly buttered 3 1/2- to 4-quart shallow baking dish and crumble topping evenly over them. Bake in middle of oven until topping is golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool to warm and serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Combine the milk, cream and tequila in a saucepan and place over medium heat.
• Bring to a simmer, and cook gently about 12 to 14 minutes, then remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the sugar and honey into the egg yolks until slightly pale and lightened.
• Put one third of the milk mixture into the yolks while whisking.
• Add the yolk mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until the mixture thickens sufficiently to coat the back of spoon -- do not allow the custard to boil.
• Remove from the heat, pass through a fine strainer, and place in the refrigerator to cool for 30 minutes.
• When it has cooled, place in an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Pour the lime juice, tequila and orange liqueur into a bowl and stir in the sugar to dissolve.
• Add the cream and then softly whip until thick and smooth but not stiff.
• Spoon into an airtight container to freeze overnight. This ice cream does not need ripening (softening before serving), as it will not freeze too hard and melts speedily and voluptuously.
