Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ice Cream Base
  • 2 cups heavy cream Use high-quality cream for best results.
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Consider halal-friendly alternative sweeteners for a healthier option.
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder Choose high-quality coffee for better flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Method
 

Preparing the Ice Cream Base
  1. In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, coffee or espresso powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend well using a whisk until the sugar and coffee powder dissolve completely.
Chill the Mixture
  1. Let the combined mixture cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
Churning the Ice Cream
  1. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn for about 20 to 30 minutes until it reaches a thick, soft-serve-like consistency.
Freezing
  1. Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Serving
  1. Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and consider garnishing with toppings like cocoa, chocolate syrup, chopped nuts, or caramel sauce.

Notes

Store ice cream in an airtight container for 2-3 weeks. Allow it to thaw for a few minutes before serving for easier scooping. Avoid over-churning to maintain the silky texture. Experiment with added flavors like chocolate chips or cookie crumbles during the churning process.
