Ballymaloe Coffee Ice Cream With Irish Coffee Sauce
This ice cream is so good! You may be surprised that I am using instant coffee, but believe me, it works brilliantly here—liquid espresso will result in splinters of ice. It will keep for months in the freezer but is much more fresh-tasting when eaten within a couple of days of being made.
Serves 6 to 8
