5. Polar Bear (Non-Alcohol)
[CraftE
note: This non-alcoholic version is my own
concoction]
Follow
ingredient measures below but instead of
Amaretto, use Torani's Amaretto Syrup
(available at a variety of stores such as Cost
Plus/World Market) Substitute the white
Creme de Cacao with Torani's White Chocolate
Syrup. Then add the rest of the ingredients
as listed in the alcoholic recipe. Torani
is the brand used at Starbucks. :-)
If
you're not sure where to get Torani, just go to http://www.torani.com/wheretofind
and click on your state. They will tell you
where you can buy it locally. :-) And if
you don't find a place locally, let me know. The
Cost Plus here sells it for $5.99 a bottle (HUGE
bottle lol good on ice cream, in coffee, etc.)
I've only found one place online that sells it
and you have to buy it by the case.
Polar
Bear (Alcohol)
1
1/2 T Amaretto
4 tsp white Crème de Cacao
1 tsp chocolate syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened)
Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour
into 6 ounce glasses. Makes
