Ingredients
Scale
Main Coffee Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons instant coffee
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 liter (33.8 fluid ounces) heavy whipping cream
- 400 grams (14.1 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare a concentrated coffee solution by dissolving instant coffee granules in of warm water, stirring until the coffee completely disperses without any granular residue.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dissolved coffee with sweetened condensed milk, whisking thoroughly to create a uniform, rich caramel-like liquid with a smooth, glossy appearance.
- Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat heavy cream in a separate chilled bowl until it transforms into a voluminous, stable mixture with distinct stiff peaks that hold their shape when the whisk is lifted.
- Gently incorporate the coffee-condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a folding technique, carefully turning the ingredients to maintain the cream’s airy texture and prevent deflation.
- Pour the velvety mixture into a freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid, smoothing the surface to ensure an even distribution.
- Place the container in the freezer, allowing the ice cream to solidify for 6 to 8 hours, or ideally overnight, until it reaches a firm, scoopable consistency.
- Remove from the freezer 5 to 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly, enabling easier scooping and optimal creaminess.
Notes
- Getting your coffee mixture perfectly dissolved prevents grainy textures in the final dessert.
- Sweetened condensed milk adds rich, velvety smoothness and helps prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Whipping cream to stiff peaks creates an airy, luxurious base that makes the ice cream incredibly light.
- Gentle folding techniques ensure you maintain the cream’s delicate structure while evenly distributing coffee flavors.
- Freezing for an extended period allows the dessert to set properly and develop a creamy, scoopable consistency.
