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
Optional Additions:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Dissolve the instant coffee granules in hot water, allowing the concentrated brew to cool to room temperature, releasing its rich aroma.
- Chill a large mixing bowl and whisk, then vigorously whip the heavy cream until it transforms into voluminous, sturdy peaks that hold their shape.
- Carefully incorporate the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream, using gentle folding motions to maintain the cream’s delicate structure.
- Slowly stream the cooled coffee into the cream mixture, gently blending until a uniform, silky texture emerges with no streaks.
- Transfer the luxurious mixture into a freezer-safe container, ensuring a smooth, even surface.
- Seal the container tightly and place in the freezer for 6-8 hours, or ideally overnight, to achieve a perfectly firm, creamy consistency.
- Before serving, let the ice cream rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to soften slightly, enhancing its smooth, velvety texture.
- Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of chocolate chips, a drizzle of caramel, or a light dusting of coffee powder for an elevated presentation.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality instant coffee to ensure a rich, robust coffee flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Use cold heavy cream straight from the refrigerator for the best whipping results and maximum volume.
- Consider using a hand mixer or stand mixer to achieve perfectly stiff peaks without overbeating the cream.
- Experiment with different coffee variations like espresso powder or cold brew concentrate for unique flavor profiles.
