Coffee Ice Cream

9 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon gelatin
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder or instant coffee granules
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
  • 1/2 cup toasted Hazelnuts, coarsely chopped

Directions

  1. 1
    Place 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow softening, about 5 minutes. Add coffee. Stir the water mixture over medium heat until the gelatin has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  2. 2
    Beat the cream until starts to thicken using an electric hand mixer in a medium bowl. Add the sugar and continue to beat until the cream holds soft peaks (about 2 minutes). Add the vanilla and then the coffee and gelatin mixture, coconut milk and Kahlua liqueur. Beat until thick and light.
  3. 3
    Pour the mixture into an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish. Freeze until the mixture is the texture of soft ice cream, about 2 1/2 hours. When ready to serve, scoop into serving bowls using an ice cream scoop. Garnish with toasted hazelnuts and serve. Freeze any unused ice cream in an airtight container.
  4. 4
    If freezing the ice cream for longer than 2 1/2 hours, allow the ice cream to stand at room temperature until softened, about 20 minutes before serving.
