Today I will show you how to make coffee ice cream at home. You won’t need a dedicated ice cream maker using a compressor. A regular kitchen machine with an extension for ice cream making is sufficient.
I am using my Bosch Mum 5 kitchen machine and bought the Bosch Ice Cream Maker for this purpose.
How to Make Coffee Ice Cream at Home
To make coffee ice cream:
- Prepare 1.25 cups of coffee using a coffee maker
- Measure 1.4 oz of sugar
- Use 0.85 cups of heavy cream
- Add a pinch of salt
Coffee Ice Cream Ingredients
- Coffee – 1.25 cups
- Heavy Cream – 0.85 cups
- Sugar – 1.4 oz
- Salt – One pinch
This will result in 0.5 quarts of coffee ice cream.
How to Make Coffee Ice Cream at Home
- Start by making coffee as you would make coffee for drinking. I am using my espresso machine and must press four times to get to 1.25 cups of coffee.
- Measure the heavy cream so you get 0.85 cups. I am using a measuring cup to get the exact amount. What works great are protein powder shakers. We have these always available at home.
- Measure 1.4oz of sugar using a kitchen balance. You can use more or less sugar. Some recipes even use vanilla instead of sugar.
- Add the coffee, the heavy cream, and the sugar into a cup that you can store in the fridge.
- Then add a pinch of salt.
- Lastly, mix everything so the sugar and the other ingredients are dissolved. You can mix by hand, a mixer or machine is unnecessary for this step.
- Put the mixed liquid into the fridge. I let it sit for 8-12 hours as I want the liquid to be as cold as possible before pouring it into the ice cream maker.
- Now, set up your kitchen machine and attach the ice cream maker.
- Start the ice cream maker. I set the Bosch 5 ice cream maker to level 1. This is the recommended setting, as pouring in the liquid when the ice cream maker is not running might damage it.
- Pour in the coffee ice cream liquid and let the machine run for 30-45 minutes on setting 1 (Bosch Mum 5).
- After 30 to 45 minutes, the ice cream is ready. Take it out once it has the consistency you are aiming for. Voila, your homemade coffee ice cream is ready.
