In closing:
The base of the ice cream is made of blended coffee, sugar, salt, and egg yolks. This creates a creamy, smooth texture that is essential to any good ice cream. The mint and lime flavours are then added to the base to create the perfect balance of flavours. The use of fresh mint leaves ensures that the mint flavour is tangy and refreshing, while the lime juice adds a bright, zesty flavour that complements the coffee perfectly.
To add an extra dimension to the flavour, rum is often included in the recipe, giving the ice cream a slight kick that is perfect for adults who want to indulge in a special treat. However, for those who prefer a non-alcoholic version, the rum can be substituted for a splash of vanilla extract, which adds a smooth, sweet flavour that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
The final product is a beautiful light green colour, and each scoop is infused with the flavours of mint, lime, and coffee. The cooling mint flavour is perfect for warm summer days, while the coffee flavour is a great way to start the day. The addition of the tangy lime flavour and the sweet sugar make this ice cream an irresistible treat that is perfect for any occasion.
