Homemade Coffee Ice Cream – Creamy, Bold, and Simply Irresistible
No ice cream maker needed—just pure coffee bliss!
If you're a coffee lover and a dessert enthusiast, this recipe is your dream come true. With just a few ingredients and a bit of patience, you can whip up a batch of rich, creamy coffee ice cream right at home. It’s the perfect frozen treat for hot days, dinner parties, or a well-deserved solo indulgence.
The best part? No fancy machines, no complicated steps—just smooth, café-style flavor straight from your freezer.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 350 ml whipping cream (chilled)
- 3 tablespoons of instant (soluble) coffee
- 290 ml sweetened condensed milk
- Chocolate (for decoration—shavings, sauce, or drizzle)
How to Make It:
Step 1: Chill Everything First
For the fluffiest results, make sure your whipping cream, bowl, and beaters are cold. A quick 10-minute chill in the fridge or freezer helps the cream whip better and faster.
Step 2: Whip It Good
In your chilled bowl, pour in the whipping cream and add the coffee. Beat until the mixture becomes light, thick, and holds soft peaks. You’ll start to smell that delicious coffee aroma as it whips!
Step 3: Blend in the Sweetness
Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk. Mix just until combined—don’t overdo it, or you’ll lose that lovely airy texture.
Step 4: Freeze and Wait (The Hardest Part!)
Pour the mixture into a large freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and cover. Freeze for at least 24 hours to let it fully set into scoopable perfection.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and decorate with melted chocolate, shavings, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for that final elegant touch.
Tips & Tricks for Perfect Ice Cream:
- Always start with cold cream and equipment—it makes whipping easier and the texture smoother.
- Feel free to adjust the coffee strength to your liking—more coffee for bold flavor, or less for a milder taste.
- Add-ins like crushed biscuits, chocolate chips, or a swirl of caramel make great variations!
Whether you're enjoying it solo on a quiet evening or sharing it with guests after dinner, this coffee ice cream is bound to become a frozen favorite. Creamy, sweet, and kissed with coffee—it’s everything a dessert should be.
