Coffee Ice Cream
Caffeine lovers rejoice! This coffee ice cream is super easy to make and delicious.
Everyone has different opinions on what a good coffee tastes like. The amount of coffee in this ice cream can be adjusted to your taste.
I used a 1/2 cup but reduce to 1/4 cup for a mild flavoured ice cream. Add 3/4 cup of coffee for a “knock your socks off” ice cream dessert.
Warning: Don’t eat this one just before bed if caffeine keeps you awake.
If you’re more of a beer fan, why not try this beer ice cream recipe that I promise you’ll enjoy.

Ingredients
- 1 cup thickened cream
- 1 cup full cream milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup coffee of your choice
- 4 egg yolks
Instructions
- Add cream, milk, sugar and coffee to a medium saucepan and, stirring frequently, heat until simmering. Don't allow to boil.
- Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until pale in colour.
- Slowly pour 1 cup of the heated milk mixture into the yolks all the while whisking; then pour back into the milk mixture while continuing to whisk.
- Continue heating and stirring the milk mixture on a medium heat until it thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes then pour through a strainer. Add to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Preferably overnight.
- Add ice cream base to your ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Once churned, freeze for at least 3 hours until hardened.
Notes
Reduce the coffee by 1/4 cup for a subtle tasting coffee ice cream. Add 1/4 cup for a stronger version.
Love a good coffee ice cream. I’d add some coffee/chocolate liquor to make it a bit more grown up treat ?
Agreed Herlina, a big dose of Baileys works a treat.
That looks like such a fun ice cream to try! I thought it was way harder to make.
Thanks for stopping by Melissa. It’s easy to make this and worth the effort 🙂
Wow my two favorite things in one post! Coffee and icecream!
I’m glad you like Mily!
oh my goodness this looks incredibly yummy! <3
Thanks Abbigayle, it is pretty tasty 🙂
Coffee Ice Cream is my favorite! Sooo good! There are some instructions (letting sit overnight) that I never knew. Will have to try!
Thanks for visiting Susan. Yes, you should definitely give this ice cream a try next time. Well worth the effort I think.
Two of my favorite things! Thanks for this. Def gonna try it
Great to hear Charne, thanks for checking out my post!
I think I need to put my ice cream maker base in the freezer. I love coffee and ice cream, and don’t know how I haven’t made this yet.
Get that ice cream bowl freezing Jeff! Thanks for your comment.
My daughter loves coffee ice cream. And I happen to have one of those coffee makers on your pics. The 3-cup one. I’m definitely saving this recipe. I’ve never made ice cream before but there’s always a first time. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting Yesenia. Those coffee machines are great aren’t they, old school. My wife has a collection of them in different sizes lol.
This looks yummy and combines the 2 things I liked most: coffee & ice-cream. Will book mark.
Hi Tatjana, thanks for dropping by 🙂
Ok, I’m probably going to be stoned for saying this, but coffee isn’t a flavor I like (I know – I’m crazy). However, I know so many people do, and this recipe looks delicious and easy to do – I’m pinning it to share with my friends who enjoy coffee!
Hi Heather, until a couple of years ago I would have agreed with you. I hated coffee. It’s a flavour that one day I just decided was okay – must be old age? Thanks for visiting and for sharing 🙂
Very nicely done. I love the taste of coffee frozen desserts. I used to love this coffee or maybe it was mocha. It was so long ago now but thank you for inspiration.
Thanks for stopping by Ivy and I’m glad to provide some inspiration. Have a great weekend!
I made this icecream and it was sensational. I used 3/4 cup of coffee (Nespresso India) as I love strong coffee and was so pleased with the flavour. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
Thanks
For some reason the consistency was a little icy – don’t know why / but the flavour was great. Use half of cup of expression coffe.
Any ideas ??
