When it comes to making homemade ice cream, patience is a virtue. The problem is, once you make the decision to churn a batch of decadent handcrafted ice cream, patience often goes out the window. That’s why I prefer to make uncooked ice cream bases without eggs. Once all the ingredients are whisked together, it is possible to churn it right away.
Still, to have a perfectly scoopable ice cream experience, the ice cream will need to set in the freezer for at least four hours. The wait may feel like an eternity, but it will all pay off when you taste that first bite!
How to Make Coffee Ice Cream
Coffee ice cream is made with milk, sugar, cream, vanilla extract, and coffee. I like to use instant espresso powder for the coffee flavor in this ice cream. It dissolves well and is more flavorful than instant coffee granules.
