Coffee Ice Cream Recipe
Coffee ice cream…yes, please! Give me the recipe! And let me try!!
Okay, so, yeah. I’m a coffee lover.
But it’s really not my fault.
I didn’t even like coffee until I started dating my husband. He loves coffee and so, yes, I became a social drinker when we dated.
We bonded over coffee…and he now he’s a keeper and so is the coffee!
On a hot day, I love me a deliciously creamy, chilled ice coffee.
But a coffee infused ice cream? Sounded delicious! I had to try!
The Verdict
As a coffee lover, you won’t be surprised to learn that this has now made it to my list of all-time favorite ice cream recipes.
Public Service Announcement to those sensitive to caffeine.
Don’t indulge in this ice cream too late in the day.
I love coffee, but if I have it too late in the day I stay up all night…that’s what happened the first time I made this ice cream. It was late in the day and it was too good not to keep eating!!! I was up all night!
Variations
You can make different flavors by using flavored instant coffee or espresso.
Serving Tip
To serve, place your freshly made ice cream in a coffee mug, instead of an ice cream bowl! Garnish with chocolate covered coffee beans.
