Whether you’re hosting a festive New Year’s Eve party, attending one, or just in the market for something amazing to eat for a festive night in, this “homemade” ice cream will do the trick. Each time I make my grandma’s recipe, everyone asks me where it’s from. When I disclose the secret that it’s homemade, people are floored. The cream is smooth, easy to scoop, and the flavors are the most unique combination of mint and lime. Fresh, simple, and always festive!
Guests will love this dessert and want it time and again. The flavors are unique and the texture is amazing! Grandma used to serve this with chocolate syrup and a maraschino cherry. Nowadays, I like to serve it with some chocolate liqueur and more whipped topping. It’s a holiday, right? Calories don’t count!
For New Year’s, serve it with a lit sparkler or whatever feels festive! It’s the perfect New Year’s dessert after an evening of appetizers or after a meal. Happy New Year’s!
