Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 400 milliliters (13.5 fluid ounces) heavy whipping cream
- 200 milliliters (6.75 fluid ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancer:
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Brew instant coffee with hot water, allowing it to reach room temperature, releasing its robust aroma and ensuring a smooth integration into the cream mixture.
- Chill a mixing bowl and whisk to maintain cold temperature while whipping heavy cream until it develops sturdy, glossy peaks that hold their shape effortlessly.
- Incorporate sweetened condensed milk and cooled coffee into the whipped cream, using delicate folding motions to preserve the cream’s airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Transfer the silky coffee-infused mixture into a freezer-safe container, ensuring an even spread for consistent freezing and optimal texture development.
- Refrigerate for 4-6 hours at 0°F, allowing the dessert to solidify into a creamy, scoopable consistency with rich coffee undertones.
- Optional: Elevate the dessert by garnishing with dark chocolate shavings or a luxurious caramel drizzle just before serving, adding depth and visual appeal to the homemade treat.
Notes
- Instant coffee works best, providing a robust flavor without adding extra liquid that could impact texture.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to ensure a smoother, more consistent ice cream base.
- For a lighter version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with a low-fat alternative or Greek yogurt.
- Try different coffee strengths to customize the intensity of the coffee flavor, using espresso powder for a more pronounced taste.
