Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or a blend of half-and-half. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, almond or oat milk works well too. You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can enhance the flavor. For a thicker consistency, increase the amount of ice cream.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this non-alcoholic White Russian in chilled glasses, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a cinnamon stick for added flair. It pairs beautifully with desserts like Pumpkin-Raisin-Rum Pie or a slice of Dutch Apple Coffee Cake. Enjoy it as a unique treat during brunch or as a refreshing drink on a warm day.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover White Russian in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, the drink is best enjoyed fresh as the ice cream can separate. If it thickens, give it a quick stir or blend before serving again. Avoid freezing, as the texture will change significantly.
