Coconut Lime Boozy Ice Cream

Tropical Indulgence: Coconut Lime Boozy Ice Cream

If you love tropical flavors and creamy, homemade ice cream, this Coconut Lime Boozy Ice Cream is a must-try! It’s rich and velvety, with a refreshing citrusy kick and a touch of rum (or coconut liqueur) to keep it smooth and extra indulgent.

The combination of coconut milk and cream creates a luscious texture, while fresh lime juice and zest add a burst of brightness. A hint of vanilla and a pinch of salt enhance the flavors, making each spoonful irresistible. And the best part? The small amount of alcohol prevents the ice cream from freezing too hard, so it stays perfectly scoopable straight from the freezer.

Serve it with toasted coconut flakes, fresh fruit, or even a drizzle of white chocolate for an extra decadent treat. Whether you’re hosting a summer gathering or just craving something special, this tropical delight is sure to impress!
