Giveaway - Ice Cream Happy Hour Book and Sucre and Spice Ice Cream Spoons

Print Friendly and PDF

If there were a Greek system for desserts, ice cream and cupcakes would definitely be sorority sisters.  Ice cream made it into my list of top ten frostings, and each May I hold an Ice Cream Cupcake contest on this blog (start thinking about your entry now!).

As you know, I like taking cupcake flavors to unexpected (often alcoholic) places, and the book Ice Cream Happy Hour does the same thing for ice cream.  In fact, many of the boozy cupcakes I have created mirror the ice cream flavors that are found in this book.  Here's a list of some of my cupcakes that have related ice cream recipes in Ice Cream Happy Hour:
I know how much I loved these flavors as cupcakes and I'm looking forward to trying them all as ice creams! I already tried the butter pecan ice cream with brandy and highly recommend it!

Lucky for you, you've got a chance to win Ice Cream Happy Hour and give the recipes a try yourself.  As a bonus (read this in your best infomercial voice), the winner will receive a set of 20 totally adorable ice cream spoons from Sucre and Spice - in any style that you like!

  15. My husband and I love margaritas! Perhaps this flavor would translate better in a gelato or sorbet.
    And for the salt-rimmed glass lovers such as me, a few grains of Kosher salt mixed in? Who knows? ;)

  16. Kahlua ice cream or a mojito ice cream would be awesome.

  17. Hands down - White Russian . . yum!

    sefranke@yahoo.com

  18. Hot cocoa made with milk and some ovaltine and a splash of bailey's irish cream could inspire a delicious cupcake!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think a cherry limeade ice cream made with grenadine and vodka would be amazing! leachdm@umkc.edu

    ReplyDelete
  20. Lemon ice cream or sorbet with raspberry vodka!

  21. White Russian. B&J used to carry the flavor late 80's early 90's but eventually dropped it. I've been in mourning ever since!!!

    trezlen at gmail dot com.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I had this awesome drink made with tequila and tamarind (almost like a margarita), that would be awesome as an ice cream flavor.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wine drinker here - Edisto Black from Southern Charms winery I would love to have made into an icecream. Maybe with a vanilla base. The wine taste like a day at the beach!!!

    ReplyDelete

  26. I'm all about pina colada. Mojito sounds good too. Fstars821@aol.com

    ReplyDelete
  27. Khalua, Baileys, apple-tini or even a cosmo would be yummy. Do we have to pick just one? Sex on the Beach might be good too. Our local ice cream shop carries 6 ice cream flavors made with wine but I don't find the flavor of the wine to be very "present." And yes, you will be carded before buy the ice cream.

  28. i DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL BUT I STILL LOVE A VIRGIN MARGARITA! THAT WOULD BE DELICIOUS AS AN ICECREAM!
    hgrossman@cableone.net

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm a total Tom Collin's fan... but am easily swayed by Pineapple Upside Down Cake Martini's and any beverage that includes Bailey's (hot cocoa, anyone?). Yum! Is it too early to start drinking? :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Strawberry daquiri ice cream! Mmm, that sounds like a summer treat to me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. I just had a Pear Martini at The Turf Room that was beyond spectacular! Gin, Xante, Grey Goose Pear Vodka, Agave, Fresh Lemon & Lime Juice and bit of Pinot Grigio... not too sweet with layers of flavor. Put that in an icecream and I will be in dessert heaven! gwenero21@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well, if you could invent a good Margarita ice cream, I would be all over it!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I'm thinking bourbon and pecan.

  34. I also have a give away going on right now at spiceopolis.com

    But, I'd love to try Vanilla.. I've never liked ice cream but maybe it's because I've not had the right kind!

But anyways, with the holidays rolling around I wouldn't mind a tanqueray_gin Ice cream...It's got this pine tree Christmas smell to it. That would be kinda cool....egg nog on one side of the table and tanqueray gin ice cream on the other...winter wonderland for sure !!! ;)

  56. Out of those listed the hot buttered rum sounds lovely, but what I would really like to try is a "Snuggler." I had some (too many) years ago and loved it. It's hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps. Yummy...

  61. Banana shot ice cream would be good. You could top it with strawberries and pineapple with a drizzle of chocolate and have a kicked up banana split. You could even add a little whipped cream and a cherry on top.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm a beer drinker, through and through! But not sure how that would translate into a cupcake?!
    Brett: brettntrish@hotmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  63. I put liquor in my ice cream all the time; I find it helps keep it from turning into a solid frozen mass (it's vegan ice cream so the freezing properties are a bit different). I've made coconut ice cream with rum, maple and molasses rum ice cream, brandy and chai ice cream, white russian ice cream and probably some others that I can't think of at the moment. I haven't tried putting beer in it though, maybe there's some chocolate Guinness ice cream in my future...

    ReplyDelete
  64. My all time favorite drink is an Amaretto Sour. I bet that would make a delicious ice cream!
