PROS

This French Cognac and Creme Fraiche Ice Cream is a quick and easy dessert that is sure to impress your guests.
It has a smooth and creamy texture with a rich, boozy flavor.

The use of creme fraiche instead of heavy cream makes it slightly lighter and tangier.

It can be made without an ice cream maker if needed.

CONS

The use of cognac in this recipe means it is not suitable for children or those who do not consume alcohol.

The golden icing sugar adds a distinct flavor, so it may not appeal to those who prefer a more classic vanilla flavor.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

As with most desserts, this French Cognac and Creme Fraiche Ice Cream should be enjoyed in moderation.
However, creme fraiche is a good source of probiotics and vitamin B12, which supports heart health and boosts energy levels.
