Description
Rich luscious coffee ice cream that just happens to be dairy free and vegan. This is a winning proposition if you can’t have dairy for whatever reason!
Ingredients
- 14 ounce can Coconut Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 container Coconut whipped cream (I like So Delicious Cocowhip), 264 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Thaw: Since Cocowhip is sold frozen, you’ll need to thaw it before proceeding. I’ve used it frozen before, and unfortunately it just doesn’t whip up quite the same. Just pop the container in the fridge and make your ice cream the next day for the easiest solution.
- Mix coffee and sweetened condensed milk: Since the coffee is a powder, it really does best if you dissolve it into something. Pour out the coconut sweetened condensed milk into a little bowl and stir in the coffee until you get a consistent color.
- Fold: Stir in the coffee milk and vanilla into the thawed coconut whipped cream until the color is distributed throughout.
- Freeze: Scoop the coffee cream into a loaf pan and smooth the top. Cover everything with a lid or a piece of plastic wrap and freeze for 8 hours. This ice cream will always be softer than standard ice cream, so it will always have more of a soft-serve texture. You didn’t do anything wrong!
Notes
A note on nutrition information: Note that the nutrition estimate was calculated with both regular sweetened condensed milk and regular Cool-whip. As good as the database is for my nutrition plugin, it’s not complete, so I had to choose the closest approximations. It should not change the data too much.
Make it WITH dairy: To make this a standard ice cream recipe, sub in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream for the coco-whip and a can of sweetened condensed milk for the coconut sweetened condensed milk. Follow the directions for whipping the cream in the cinnamon ice cream recipe. Everything else is the same.
Chocolate Coffee Ice Cream: Chop up a dairy free chocolate bar (Lindt 70% is a house favorite!) and stir it into the ice cream base before freezing.
