Ultimate Coffee Ice Cream - Twitchin Kitten - 12-08-2015
I make this stuff in the summer months and if you love coffee, this is the recipe for you. Don't bother buying ready made coffee ice cream because it can't hold a candle to this stuff!
* you will need an ice cream maker for this recipe
This is NOT a low calorie treat so be careful on portion size if you're counting calories
Ultimate Coffee Ice Cream
calories: 574 per 8 oz
ingredients:
- 1 c. milk
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp instant coffee or espresso ( 2 Tbsp for a weaker flavor, 2 1/2 Tbsp for a moderate coffee flavor)
- 2 c. heavy cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
With an electric mixer (or if you're sturdy, a big whisk), mix the milk, sugar, and instant coffee until the sugar and coffee have completely dissolved.
Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract into the coffee mixture.
Pour all of this into your ice cream maker and run it according to your machine's directions. It should be thick when finished.
At this point you can dig in and enjoy while it's a bit soft or you can transfer the batch to a container and freeze for later.
