Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee cooled

Equipment

  • Ice cream maker (optional, but highly recommended)
  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl
  • Airtight container for storing

Method
 

  1. Mix the Coffee and Milk: In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar. Stir constantly over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is heated, but not boiling. Add instant coffee and stir until fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
  2. Add the Coffee and Vanilla: Stir in the cooled brewed coffee and vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about an hour to chill.
  3. Churn the Mixture: Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually for 20–25 minutes) until it reaches a soft, creamy consistency.
  4. Freeze to Set: Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, scoop and enjoy your homemade cappuccino ice cream!

Notes

  • No ice cream maker? Simply pour the chilled mixture into a shallow container and freeze it. Stir every 30 minutes for the first few hours to break up any ice crystals.
  • Customization: Add chocolate shavings, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or even a drizzle of caramel for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if it becomes too hard.
