Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Place a freezer-safe container in the freezer at least a couple of hours before you are going to make the ice cream (I use a metal loaf pan because it gets nice and cold).
  • Put the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer at least 30 minutes ahead of time.
  • Mix instant coffee and water together in a small bowl and stir until the coffee has dissolved. 
    2 tablespoons instant espresso, 2 tablespoons water
  • Whip heavy cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form and will hold, this only takes about 2-3minutes. I use my stand mixer but this can be done with a hand mixer, or even by hand using a whisk.
    2 cups heavy cream
  • Fold condensed milk, coffee mixture and vanilla into the whipped cream.
    1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Pour ice cream mixture into cold pan, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until frozen solid. I like to let mine freeze until the next day. Take it out of the freezer and let it sit for 5-10 minutes so it is easy to scoop.

Notes

If you are using instant coffee instead of instant espresso you will want to double the amount to achieve the same rich coffee flavor.  
Do not over beat your cream or it will turn lumpy. Stop whipping once the peaks of the cream hold their shape. If you gently nudge the stiff peak with a spoon, it should stay upright and not droop.
