This ice cream boasts big buttermilk flavor, but it has a texture that's light and fresh.

Whiskey Butterscotch Sauce

[Photograph: Lucy Baker] Real homemade butterscotch sauce is a marvelous combination of flavors including brown sugar, butter, salt, and booze. And it's incredibly simple to make. This version is spiked with a generous dose of Irish whiskey. It will keep...

Irish Coffee Caramel Ice Cream with Shaved Dark Chocolate and Candied Pecans

It has buttery, smoky caramel, a dash of coffee grinds, and a generous helping of whisky for good measure. It's a bracing combination, but oh does it work. First you taste the coffee, roasted and rich, with the pleasant bitterness of an actual cup of joe. Then comes the caramel to sweeten things up just a tad, melting to sweet buttery goodness. Then the whisky: the more ice cream you eat, the more you taste it.

Eggnog Ice Cream

A direct frozen version of our favorite holiday drink, spiked with just enough bourbon to keep it interesting.

Rum Cherry Ice Cream ~ Boozy Ice Cream

Love cherry ice cream? Try this boozy (adults-only) version, made with plump, rum-soaked Bing cherries! It's a decidedly grownup twist on a summertime classic.

Old Fashioned (Bourbon and Orange) Ice Cream

An ice cream with all the boozy depth and surprising delicacy of an Old Fashioned. It's bourbon-forward, but carries subtle notes of citrus skin and aromatic bitters.

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. Add salt slowly and adjust it to your tastes.

Scooped: Apple, Browned Butter, & Sour Cream Ice Cream

The time has come for us to end this ice cream series, October being halfway to Halloween. We wanted something to complement fall's palette of desserts: crumbles, crisps, cakes, and quickbreads, filled with apples, pears, walnuts, and cinnamon. With that in mind, apples and sour cream were a no-brainer, a lusciously tart rejoinder to rustic late-harvest food.

Scooped: Smoked Chocolate and Tequila Ice Cream

What could be better than chocolate, tequila and ice cream on a hot August afternoon? So why not put them all together in one amazing ice cream concoction? Funny you should ask, because that's exactly what we did.

Homemade Speculoos Ice Cream

Biscoff cookies, whether real or copycat, give this silky ice cream an intriguing caramel flavor, while dairy dilutes the spices into something mellow and mild. With a shot of espresso, it makes an amazing twist on affogato.
