Some people don’t love either working with raw eggs or the idea of putting raw eggs in ice cream, so this recipe is perfect. No eggs, no worry! There is a strong coffee flavor and it will soon become your favorite ice cream of all! I even put a scoop in my iced coffee!

Ingredients

You’ll never believe that this coffee ice cream is made with instant coffee! You can use any type, but I had Nescafe in the house so my deciscion was made for me! I use it all the time to make Greek frappes, so I know it has a wonderful coffee flavor.

You can always use decaf if you want or even a flavored coffee! Just use the same amount of vary in terms of taste!

This is a Philadelphia style or American style recipe which means there are no egg yolks needed! It makes it one of the easy recipes. These are also pretty simple ingredients to find.

Whole milk: Whole milk is one of the key ingredients in making Cuisinart Vanilla ice cream. Whole milk is high in fat which gives the ice cream its rich and creamy texture. In short, it sets the base for your homemade ice cream. Using skim milk or nonfat milk will not give it the depth of flavor, but you can still use those if you can’t find whole milk.

Granulated sugar: Obviously, sugar sweetens the final product and plays an important role in the freezing process. Granulated sugar is the most common sugar used to make ice cream. Combined with milk and cream, it also helps prevent ice crystals from forming, ensuring you get a smooth end result. Brown sugar or demerara sugar could work just as well.
Heavy cream (Double Cream): Heavy cream is another must in making vanilla ice cream. It adds richness, body, and flavor to the finished product. When selecting a heavy cream, you may also see terms like “whipping” (double cream) or “cooking” cream. These are both suitable for making ice cream. Heavy whipping cream will produce a lighter finished product, while cooking cream will result in richer ice cream.
Instant Coffee Granules: We talked about this but any instant coffee will do. Both instant coffee powder and instant coffee grounds will work! As I said. I love Nescafe! You can also use Instant Espresso powder.
