🧾 Ingredients
350 ml whipping cream (cold, for best results)
3 tablespoons instant (soluble) coffee
290 ml sweetened condensed milk
Chocolate shavings or melted chocolate, for decoration
👩🍳 Preparation Steps
1. Chill Your Tools
Place the mixing bowl and beaters (or whisk attachment) in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before starting. Cold equipment helps the cream whip faster and hold its shape better.
2. Whip the Cream with Coffee
In the chilled bowl, pour the whipping cream and add the instant coffee.
Beat the mixture using an electric mixer (or whisk) until stiff peaks form. This means the cream will hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.
3. Fold in the Condensed Milk
Gently incorporate the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula or spoon.
Fold slowly and carefully to keep as much air in the mixture as possible for a light, creamy texture.
4. Freeze
Transfer the blended mixture into a large airtight container or a loaf pan.
Smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 24 hours for best results.
5. Serve
Scoop the frozen coffee ice cream into bowls or cones.
Drizzle with melted chocolate, sprinkle chocolate shavings, or top with chocolate curls for an elegant finish.
💡 Tips & Tricks
Use Cold Ingredients & Tools: Cold cream, bowls, and beaters whip faster and provide more volume, making your ice cream extra creamy.
Customize the Coffee Strength: If you prefer a milder coffee flavor, reduce the instant coffee to 2 tablespoons. For a bold espresso-like punch, try 4 tablespoons or use espresso powder.
Chocolate Options: Use dark, milk, or white chocolate for drizzling—whatever complements your taste!
Add Texture: Stir in chocolate chips, crushed biscuits, or chopped nuts before freezing for added crunch.
Flavor Boost: Add a splash of vanilla extract or a hint of cinnamon for a twist.
