Just an update….it eventually did freeze in the freezer. But it did take until the next day. Now I know for next time. Delicious!
Thank you!

Thanks for your feedback, Shel. I will revisit the recipe to see if I can make it freeze more solid. You are right in that the creme de menthe prevents the ice cream from freezing completely solid. But I feel that if you place it in the freezer, it will still set up pretty well and you’ll enjoy the flavor.

I have made a few of your other ice cream recipes and they have all turned out amazing. This one however, did I not thicken at all. My bowl stays stored in the freezer, so that wasn’t the issue; and the base mixture was in the fridge from the day before. Same things I have always done. The only difference with this recipe is the alcohol. When I googled it said that alcohol lowers the freezing temperature. But I didn’t see anyone else mention they had that issue. Any idea? I have just poured the liquid into a dish to freeze and we will see what happens in a few hours. Otherwise, your recipes have been amazing!

Broke in my kitchenaid ice cream attachment with this recipe and wow!!! So delicious. I’m not usually a whole bowl of ice cream person, but I am for this one. Didn’t have crème de menthe so I subbed peppermint extract.

I would try a couple teaspoons of mint extract.

I have no idea since I’ve never used monk fruit. Let me know if you try it!

Do you think it would be possible to trade the granulated sugar for granulated monkfruit to lower the glycemic index?

I’m sorry you didn’t like the flavor, Kat. We tried this with peppermint and mint extract but it tasted like toothpaste to us!

Mint flavor was so weak, very disappointing. Had to add another half cup of creme de menthe and it still wasn’t enough. It was immensely frustrating, don’t try this recipe if you actually like mint. Perfect for people who don’t normally like mint ice cream, or just want bland grocery store flavor. If I wanted it taste like this I would have just bought it at the store and saved both money and time. However, everything else about the recipe was spot on. Advice: maybe just mention that this recipe produces a very weak mint flavor so us mint lovers know to move on?
