Angels Kiss
A creamy, boozy frozen treat combining vanilla ice cream, banana pudding, and Kahlua, perfect for dessert or a fun cocktail with a tropical twist.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add crushed ice, vanilla ice cream, banana pudding mix, Kahlua, orange juice, and liquid dairy creamer into a blender or smoothie maker.
- Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished as desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure the vanilla ice cream is slightly thawed but not completely melted. You can substitute Kahlua with any coffee liqueur or even omit it for a non-alcoholic version. If you want a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of chocolate syrup. For a twist, experiment with different fruit juices like pineapple or cranberry.
Serving Suggestions
Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing touch. This drink pairs beautifully with a light dessert like a crepe or a scoop of Icing On The Cake for a fun, indulgent treat. You can also garnish with whipped cream or fresh fruit to enhance its visual appeal and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
This drink is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the freezer. When ready to enjoy, let it thaw slightly and then blend again to restore its creamy consistency. Avoid storing for more than a day to maintain optimal flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this drink non-alcoholic?
Yes, simply omit the Kahlua and consider replacing it with a coffee-flavored syrup or more fruit juice to maintain sweetness. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract for added flavor without the alcohol.
What can I use instead of vanilla ice cream?
You can substitute vanilla ice cream with any creamy frozen dessert, like dairy-free ice cream or frozen yogurt. If you're looking for a lighter option, try using a smoothie base or a yogurt like Derek'S Yogurt to retain creaminess.
How can I adjust the sweetness of this recipe?
If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more banana pudding mix or a touch of honey or sugar. Conversely, if you want it less sweet, reduce the amount of orange juice or use unsweetened liquid dairy creamer.
