I am one of those weird people that when someone says “what’s your favorite ice cream?” I don’t say things like “chocolate chip” or “vanilla.”  For as long as I can remember my most FAVORITE ice cream in the whole wide world has always been Daiquiri Ice from Baskin Robbins ~ 31 Flavors.

Think super refreshing sorbet.  It’s not “ice cream-y” at all — but that is fine by me.  It’ll forever be my favorite and my only answer.  It made with fresh limes and imitation rum extract.  The other thing I love about it?  The color!! Isn’t it just downright pretty, too?

Unfortunately, they have closed every.single.store. in Omaha.

There is a store in Lincoln, NE, and I get to go there when I visit my son at University of Nebraska at Lincoln (GO HUSKERS!) but the location is in a gas station, and they don’t carry all 31 flavors all of the time.  Needless to say,  it’s a HUGE disappointment when we stop and they don’t have it.

  sigh.

But NOW… I can just MAKE MY OWN!

What’s in Baskin Robbins Daiquiri Ice?

You’ll need an ice cream maker, but that shouldn’t stop you … they really aren’t all that expensive, and I have lots of other good reasons to have one if you keep reading!  In addition to that, you’ll just need some rock salt and a bag of ice.

^Love it? Pin it!^

Update — I originally posted this recipe back in the summer of 2014.  I have been so incredibly grateful to have it all of these years.  I literally CRAVE this stuff.  The only time I have been able to enjoy it, outside of making it at home, is when we are lucky to find it in Lincoln, or when we visit my in laws in San Diego every February. 

 

Baskin Robbins Daiquiri Ice

That was until just recently.  Baskin Robbins opened a store in Gretna, NE.  Last week, my youngest daughter texted me on our fist hot day of the season and said — “Daiquiri Ice?” We took the top off of my new Jeep and off we went.  “Ice Cream” for dinner is never a bad thing.  Am I right?

But honestly, if the only thing you make with your ice cream maker is this?  You’ll be happy! Especially if you are like me, and it’s your favorite and it isn’t accessible now.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 3 cup sugar
  • Juice of 3 limes fresh squeezed, pulp is fine
  • 3 tsp imitation rum extract
  • 2-4 teaspoons citric acid powder or Fruit-Fresh
  • 3 drops green food coloring

Instructions

  • In a pan on the stove, heat sugar and water just until sugar melts.
  • Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 teaspoons citric acid. Stir until dissolved.
  • Let mixture cool for a few minutes and add rum extract, lime juice and food coloring.
  • Taste, and add more citric acid powder as needed, a 1/2 teaspoon at a time. The citric acid will be what gives this recipe it's tartness. The amount you will need will vary based also on the tartness of your limes. Mine weren't very tart at all, and I ended up using another 4 teaspoons to get it to where I was happy about the flavor.
  • Refrigerate until chilled.
  • Move and an ice cream maker. Churn in machine for about 55 minutes or until yours says it's ready (mine shuts off on it's own)..
  • Move to the freezer for a few hours before serving.
  • Makes about 8 cups

  12. I am so into making my own ice creams and similar like sherbets too this summer. Looking forward to trying out this recipe. I’d love to have the ice cream maker too just to make the fun even more so.

    1. There is a gal that makes the spoons ( and many other items ) and sells them at craft fairs here where I live. I buy a couple of new pieces every year!

    1. Thanks! I had a web designer do my blog for me. Her information is at the bottom of my page!

  17. Excellent blog you have here but I was wondering if
    you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics
    discussed in this article? I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get feed-back from other experienced individuals that share
    the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

    Thank you!
