Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp instant espresso powder
  • 2 tbsp hot water about 110F
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp coffee extract see notes
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the instant espresso powder and the hot water until the powder has dissolved. Allow to cool.
  • Add the cooled espresso mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Pour in the heavy whipping cream and mix on medium speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks-- about 3-5 minutes.
  • Next, add the coffee extract and mix to combine.
  • Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk and fold it gently into the whipped cream-- you don’t want to deflate the whipped cream.
  • Transfer the mixture to a 9x5 loaf pan and wrap it in plastic wrap. Freeze overnight, or at least 12 hours before serving.
  • Store tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to three weeks.

Notes

  • The coffee extract can be found in most specialty food stores or online, but if you can’t find it just substitute vanilla extract - it just won't have as strong of a coffee flavor.
  • This no-churn ice cream is softer than store-bought ice cream. Make sure you give it adequate time to freeze and don't let it sit out for too long when serving.
