This rich and creamy Coffee Ice Cream recipe blends bold brewed coffee with smooth heavy cream and whole milk to create a delightful frozen treat perfect for coffee lovers. Easy to make with an ice cream maker, it's flavored with vanilla and a pinch of salt to enhance the coffee notes, delivering a refreshing and indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee (strong)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn it following the manufacturer’s directions. Continue until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency, which usually takes around 20-25 minutes.
  3. Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze it for at least 4 hours, or until it becomes firm and scoopable.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the coffee ice cream into bowls or cones and savor the rich, bold coffee flavor perfect for warm weather or any time you want a refreshing treat.

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee for a robust flavor; espresso or cold brew works well.
  • If you prefer a sweeter ice cream, you can increase the sugar slightly.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream and almond milk, but note this will affect texture.
  • Make sure the ice cream maker bowl is thoroughly frozen before churning for best results.
  • Let the ice cream soften for a few minutes at room temperature before scooping for easier serving.
