Happy National Frozen Food Day! Although it may not be what we call, “ideal ice cream weather,” we have chosen to put on our party hats and carry on. To aid this process we have added a little something special called booze. So, bring on the weekend with these fun boozy frozen treat recipes.
Side note: Please keep out of reach from children.

2 cups milk
4 cups vanilla ice cream

Stir to combine, then let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Add the ice cream, marshmallow milk, vodka and vanilla extract to a blender. You can add extra cereal if you’d like.

White Russian Pudding Pops
Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
3 cups whole milk
3 large egg yolks
2 tsps pure vanilla extract
2.5 ounces vodka

2 ounces Kahlua
2 ounces Bailey’s Irish Cream
1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt. Continuing to whisk, add milk and egg yolks.

3. In a food processor, combine vanilla mixture and the rest of ingredients and process until smooth, approximately 2 minutes.
4. Pour mixture into 9oz disposable cups, filling half way (1/3 cup). Freeze for about 1 hour or until mixture starts to set.

6. To unmold the ice pops, run them under lukewarm water for 10 seconds then slide them from the molds. Found on: mom.me
