Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, blend the ingredients in a high-powered blender. If you prefer a less sweet drink, consider reducing the amount of Kahlua or replacing it with coffee liqueur. You can also experiment with different flavored ice creams, such as chocolate or coffee, for a unique twist. This recipe pairs beautifully with Aunt Dorothy's Buttermilk Pound Cake for a delightful dessert combination.

Store any leftover Hummers in an airtight container in the freezer. To serve again, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping. If it becomes too hard, you can blend it again to achieve a smooth consistency. This drink is best enjoyed fresh but can be kept for up to a week in the freezer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe non-alcoholic?
Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic version by replacing the Kahlua and rum with coffee and coconut milk, respectively. Use a chocolate syrup to mimic the flavor of creme de cacao. The ice cream remains the same, ensuring the drink stays creamy and delicious.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the drink?
To adjust the sweetness, you can reduce the amount of Kahlua or substitute it with a less sweet coffee liqueur. Adding a bit of espresso can also enhance the flavor without increasing the sweetness. Tasting as you mix will help you find the perfect balance.
Can I use a different type of ice cream?
Absolutely! While vanilla ice cream is traditional, you can experiment with other flavors like chocolate, coffee, or even mint chocolate chip for a different taste. Just ensure that the ice cream complements the other ingredients for a harmonious flavor profile.
