Our delicious and quick coffee ice cream recipe for creamy cappuccino ice cream with chocolate or chocolate chips for coffee drinkers. We are coffee lovers and have spent a long time looking for the best recipe for coffee ice cream and have now found it. We are really happy with the blend and love the taste, which is similar to cappuccino and iced coffee, just a little more bitter.

Coffee ice cream in the US usually means a mild, milky scoop. This one goes the other direction: it is built on real espresso, so the coffee actually tastes like coffee rather than a hint of it. That is the difference between American coffee ice cream and the Italian-German café version this recipe comes from.

Two practical notes. Use a dark, freshly pulled espresso and cool it completely before it meets the cream, or the fat will split. And a spoonful of alcohol — coffee liqueur works — keeps the ice cream scoopable straight from an American freezer, which typically runs colder than a European one.

cups  5

Ingredients

  • 200 ml fresh espresso cold, normal coffee also possible
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 50 g sugar
  • 250 g whipped cream
  • 250 g whole milk
  • 30 g chocolate chips (dark) chopped

Instructions

  1. In a tall mixing bowl, mix the cold coffee, egg yolk, milk, cream and sugar with a hand blender.
  2. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and chill and mix according to the ice cream maker's instructions.
  3. As soon as the ice cream in the ice cream maker has a slightly firm consistency (in our ice cream maker after approx. 5-6 minutes), slowly add the chocolate chips.
  4. Depending on the ice cream machine, the cooling time and production time of the delicious and easy coffee ice cream takes around 10-20 minutes.
  5. Pour the finished ice cream into pretty bowls or a wide, shallow coffee cup, decorate with more chocolate chips or a few coffee beans if you wish and enjoy.
Tip Tip: The ice cream can then be stored in the freezer for several days without any problems. Please note: If you want to eat the ice cream again afterwards, it will take a little longer to defrost (compared to ice cream from the supermarket), but it will taste all the better for it.

Coffee ice cream recipe, espresso ice cream and cappuccino ice cream

We like to drink a lot of coffee, so it’s only natural that we want to make ourselves a coffee ice cream every now and then. However, many recipes are made with instant coffee, which wasn’t the perfect solution for us. We wanted to use our favorite and good beans from the coffee machine for the espresso ice cream and coffee ice cream recipe.

We weren’t just interested in the taste of coffee, we really wanted it to go perfectly with the coffee we drink. The aroma and oils of freshly ground coffee also have a different effect on the ice cream than is possible with instant coffee.

How do you ensure that the coffee ice cream doesn’t taste too watery, but really delicious? Time for a coffee ice cream recipe, like an iced latte, an iced coffee, refined cold espresso and creamy like delicious cappuccino ice cream.

Coffee ice cream with strong espresso from the coffee machine

Our current coffee machine or fully automatic coffee machine, the Jura GIGA 10, can brew cold espresso directly as a cold brew and makes our preparation time even easier. You can use the cold fresh coffee or espresso straight away and don’t have to wait until it has cooled down.

For coffee lovers, there is hardly anything more tempting than the idea of a delicious ice cream with the intense aroma of fresh coffee. Whether espresso, cappuccino or just an easy classic coffee – the combination of creamy ice cream and invigorating caffeine is a real treat for the senses.

For someone who really likes to drink and enjoy coffee, it’s always easy to discover special coffees. We enjoy a strong coffee that has been roasted slowly and therefore has very little acidity. However, a good espresso can also have a little more acidity. We wanted to have exactly these two characteristics for our espresso ice cream.

The delicious espresso taste is transferred to the ice cream in exactly the same way. The whipped cream and whole milk make the ice cream really creamy and give it an iced coffee note. However, the fresh coffee makes the coffee ice cream a little more watery if you freeze it after preparation. That’s why we prefer to eat the ice cream freshly made, and also get on well with the frozen consistency.

Cappuccino ice cream with chocolate

We always love finding new recipes with fresh coffee and think the combination with nuts and chocolate is not only perfect in our muffin recipe with fresh coffee. For our cappuccino ice cream and coffee ice cream recipe, we opted for bitter dark chocolate, as the mixture goes really well together.

Our coffee ice cream recipe is super popular as cappuccino ice cream with dark chocolate and can be extended as desired. If you like, you can add caramel sauce to the ice cream after preparation for a caramel-frappuccino effect. Grated hazelnuts also go well as a crumble on top of the ice cream.

If you want something even more original and crispy, sprinkle a few real coffee beans or chocolate mocha beans over the finished ice cream. We like to serve the ice cream from our coffee ice cream recipe in our wide coffee cups as an alternative to an ice cream sundae.

What makes this homemade coffee ice cream recipe so special is the use of freshly brewed coffee. Coffee from a fully automatic machine delivers an intense aroma and a rich depth of flavor that blends perfectly with the creamy texture of the ice cream. A real treat for anyone who loves fresh coffee.

    Wow, I love coffee, so your ice cream recipe came at just the right time, dear Vanessa. I can tell you there’s barely any left to freeze, because it’s seriously so good you just can’t stop… For real espresso drinkers, this is the best recipe. With or without chocolate, both taste amazing to me.

    Quick and easy! Love it! Only my ice cream maker needs about 20-30 minutes till finished, so you might have a better machine 🙂

      Thank you Timothey – might depend on the ice cream maker, but also if you have pre-cooled your ingredients …
