Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 loaf pan or medium bowl
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups heavy cream
- 6 tbsp brewed strong coffee cooled
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- Optional toppings: caramel sauce crushed coffee beans
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Mixture: Begin by pouring 1 ¾ cups of cold heavy cream into a large mixing bowl.Add 6 tablespoons of cooled, strong brewed coffee and ¾ teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the bowl. Using a whisk, gently combine these ingredients to evenly distribute the coffee and cinnamon throughout the cream, ensuring a smooth and flavorful base.
- Incorporate the Sweetened Condensed Milk: Next, open a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and slowly pour it into the cream mixture. Continue whisking the blend vigorously for about 3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly, developing a creamy, luscious texture that will freeze into a perfect ice cream consistency without any ice cream maker.
- Freeze and Set the Ice Cream: Transfer the well-mixed ice cream base into a loaf pan or a medium-sized bowl, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform freezing. Cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid, then place it in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours. Allow the ice cream to set fully until firm but scoopable, ready to be served with your favorite toppings like caramel sauce or crushed coffee beans.
Notes
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee for the best rich flavor.
- Make sure the coffee is completely cooled before mixing to prevent melting the cream.
- Whisk the mixture well to incorporate air, which helps achieve a creamy texture without churning.
- Freeze the ice cream covered tightly to avoid ice crystals forming on the surface.
- Customize toppings like caramel sauce, crushed coffee beans, or chocolate shavings for added texture.
