  • Author: Dottie
  • Total Time: 375 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

Enjoy a rich and creamy homemade coffee ice cream made with brewed coffee and sweetened condensed milk. This no-churn recipe is simple to prepare and perfect for coffee enthusiasts, allowing for customization with your favorite mix-ins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup coffee granules (optional, for added texture)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by brewing your coffee. Use a strong dark roast for the best flavor. Brew about 1 cup and let it cool to room temperature.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cooled coffee. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes). Be careful not to over-whip.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the coffee mixture in batches, starting with a third to lighten the mixture, then gradually adding the rest.
  6. If using, fold in the coffee granules for added texture.
  7. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Seal the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals.
  9. Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Once frozen, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes for easier scooping.
  11. Use a warm ice cream scoop or spoon to serve. Dipping the scoop in warm water can help.
  12. Serve in bowls or cones and add your favorite toppings like chocolate shavings, caramel sauce, or cocoa powder.
  13. If you have any leftovers, store in an airtight container. Press parchment paper onto the surface before sealing to prevent ice crystals.
  14. The ice cream will keep well for about 2-3 weeks.

Notes

  • Experiment with flavors by adding different extracts or swirls of chocolate or caramel.
  • For a mocha version, add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the coffee mixture.
  • Use espresso for a more intense coffee flavor.
  • Consider adding crushed cookies or nuts for texture.
  • A splash of liqueur like Kahlua or Baileys can enhance flavor and creaminess.
