Ingredients For Dulce De Leche Ice Cream Shots
For your convenience, I’ve linked any specialized ingredients needed for this recipe to Amazon below.
- Dulce De Leche Ice Cream – if you can’t find this flavor, you can substitute it for caramel ice cream. In the UK you can find Haagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche Ice Cream at Ocado.
- Select Club Sea Salted Caramel Liqueur – alternatively, you could use Baileys Salted Caramel Liqueur. If you are unable to source either of these two liqueurs, you could use regular Baileys Irish Cream instead.
- Smirnoff Whipped Cream Vodka – a divine mix of triple-distilled Russian vodka and mouth-watering whipped cream flavours, made with hints of vanilla and icing sugar for a real sweet treat. If you can’t source this type of vodka, you can use Vanilla Vodka instead. Or try a Whipped Cream Liqueur instead.
- Light Corn Syrup – for the rim of the glass
- Ground Cinnamon – for the rim of the glass
- Whipped Cream – you can whip your own cream or use canned aerosol cream
- 2-oz Shot Glasses
