My favorite type of recipe is one that I can keep transforming over and over again. My Caramelized Butternut Squash is one of those recipes. Not only is it a tasty side, but I have managed to sneak it into a few desserts too.
First I made an amazing Butternut Squash Swirl Ice Cream with it. If you like dessert but aren't a fan of super sweet things, try it. You will LOVE it. Well, since I had all that ice cream ... I figured why not an ice cream float? Oh, and why not add some bourbon while I'm at it?
First thing you need to do is make the Caramelized Butternut Squash if you haven't already. It is very simple. Just look at it!
Then we need to make that ice cream. Also super simple. And super tasty!
Now you are set to go! Add a few scoops of ice cream to a chilled glass along with a shot of bourbon and some cream soda.
Slightly sweet and rich with vanilla, bourbon and caramel, this ice cream float is the perfect winter dessert.
