Spiced Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe | Scooped

Scotch Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

This is everything vanilla ice cream should be: impossibly rich and smooth with deep notes of honey, caramel, and flowers. A good Highland Scotch (I'm partial to Glenlivet 12) brings out the best flavors of vanilla while also adding depth. There's a good amount of salt to keep you coming back for another bite.

It's everything you love about oatmeal cookies in a scoop of homemade ice cream.
