Best 3 Margarita Ice Cream Recipes
Indulge in a refreshing and boozy treat with our Margarita Ice Cream, a delightful fusion of classic flavors. This frozen delight combines the tangy zest of lime, the sweetness of orange liqueur, and the smooth creaminess of ice cream. A hint of tequila adds a subtle warmth, while a salted rim adds a savory touch. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, our Virgin Margarita Ice Cream is equally enticing, capturing the vibrant flavors of lime and orange without the tequila. For those craving a richer, more decadent experience, our boozy Chocolate Margarita Ice Cream infuses the classic margarita with the lusciousness of chocolate, creating a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
Here are our top 3 tried and tested recipes!
MARGARITA ICE CREAM
This is a cinch to make, and easy-easy-easy to eat. It is, now that I come to think of it, in effect a no-churn version of the ice cream in Forever Summer. If you want to serve it in glasses dipped in sugar and salt, by all means do. But it is so good, that even as someone is not a committed ice cream eater and no kind of a drinker, I find I can spoon it straight into my mouth from the container I've chilled it in. In other words: no decorative touches or embellishments are remotely needed. This is truly the express way to dessert-deliriousness.

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.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes: Fresh limes provide the best flavor for your margarita ice cream. If you can't find fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Use a good quality tequila: The tequila you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your ice cream. Choose a tequila that you enjoy drinking on its own.
- Don't over-churn the ice cream: Over-churning the ice cream will make it icy and grainy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy.
- Let the ice cream ripen before serving: After churning, let the ice cream ripen in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.
