Mulled Wine is supposed to make and keep you warm in the cold winter. But what if you live in a climate that is hot in December and still want your “Glühwein” as we call it in Germany? In that case, this recipe for Mulled Wine Ice Cream is just what you need!
Video: Recipe for Mulled Wine Ice Cream
Christmas in Texas is an unreliable thing. It might be hot and sunny or rainy and stormy. Last year, just a few days before the 25th we had freezing temperatures just for two days and then temperatures bounced back to warm. I need to prepare for both: cold and warm weather. Nobody enjoys mulled wine at 80°F, even with my wonderful Mulled Wine recipe. So making mulled wine ice cream is a great solution and is a serving of German Christmas feeling in a bowl.
Make it easier?
While making the video, I was wondering if Mulled Wine Ice Cream could be made even a bit easier. Some people might not have all the spices for this recipe and if you have a mulled wine at your grocery that you like, maybe just buy that and omit the spices in the milk. Just add the mulled wine at the end instead of the usual red wine. I think that might work just as well.
If you Prefer Hot
If you are still in for some hot Mulled Wine / Glühwein, then I have two wonderful recipes for you:
