Ninja Creami Boozy Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Recipe Faqs
Is it possible to produce this ice cream without the alcohol? Yes! And if you don’t want to include the booze, you can totally leave it out (or take it out and drink it while you cook) and substitute an equal amount of milk or cream for a non-boozy version.
How long does it keep in the freezer? When kept in an airtight container this should last up to 2 Weeks without losing texture or flavor.
Can I make this in a regular ice cream maker? Yes! Follow your machine’s instructions, taking the boozy liquid into account, and churn until creamy.
Can I replace the chocolate chunks with a different ingredient? Chocolate – you can swap the chocolate chips for chocolate chunks, fudge pieces or even cookie crumbles.
