If you're not beating the heat with iced coffee, there is one treat that WILL help you cool down:

ICE CREAM!

But who wants to mess with expensive ice cream makers, flavors that are boring and all that mess?

Nope. NOT ME!

But what if I told you you could make ice cream from a packet, just like you make gravy or punch?

You'd want to know more, right?

Yup JUST that easy!

They have four primary flavors of Ice Cream Flavors to choose from- vanilla, strawberry, chocolate and unflavored (make your own). Whip up any flavor of ice cream you can imagine while controlling nutrition and ingredients.

Want to get fancier? How about an Ice Cream CAKE?

Yup- they also have four flavors to choose from, for you to make spectaular ice cream cakes like brthday cake and German Chocolate to wow your friends and family with! Just combine one pack of the base mix with cream and sugar and an ice-cold liquid, whisk, and then add in any extra flavors before freezing.

BUT they also have an adult ONLY line. Yup- you KNOW you need some of THAT ice cream after surviving with the kids off school for 2 months, right?

Upgrade your favorite cocktail into ice cream! The Boozy Creamery is the perfect adult treat for any day or occasion. Just add a chilled liquid and alcohol, then whisk and in five minutes it’s ready to go. Available in many fun flavors including Irish Mudslide, Margarita, Mint Mojito, White Russian, and the Boozy Ice Cream Sampler.

I was sent the irish Mudslide packet to check out!

Unfortunately I was out of Bailey's, so I had to sub with what I had on hand:

Cause, you know when you're an Irish family,  Jameson is a pantry sample. LOL

Instead of adding milk, I opted for cream, with a small shot of coffee, instead, since I was using the whiskey, and Bailey's is a thicker liquer. I ended up with a mix that resembled what it should have. Then off for adding air, via the hand mixer, and a subtle addition of some Hershey's Mint Cookie Crunch chocolate broken up into small pieces. The off to the freezer for 4 hours (can freeze from 2-6).

The end result was an ice cream that tasted just like I had added the Bailey's, with a chocolate twist!  And yes, you could taste the alcohol!  

I was really impressed with HOW easy it was to make the ice cream! 

And it was pretty fun to eat too!

On the second serving I tried a little wam coffee over it for an affogato experience! It was YUMMY!
