Coffee Ice Cream Recipe - My Gorgeous Recipes (1)

Nigella Lawson is by far one of my favourite British cooks. Not only because of her delicious dishes, but also because I find her cooking shows really fascinating. She speaks like a truly posh British person, and I admit I feel that my vocabulary is so basic comparing to her fancy English. A lot to learn from her, right?

And what I really love about her recipes is that they so delicious, but also simple, and anyone can cook them at home. Take this amazing coffee ice cream, it has only 4 ingredients that you can easily find in any shop, and it's ready in less than 5 minutes.

Making your own homemade coffee ice cream can be simple and rewarding. Plus, it's no churn, which means you don't need to worry about an ice cream maker.

Leave it to freeze for a few hours, and that's it, you get the best ice cream ever. Forget about luxury ice cream treats, this is the real deal! And, it's naughty enough to be enjoyed by grown-ups only.

  • Beat again for 30 seconds or so to have everything mixed well and it looks super creamy.
  • Pour the mixture into a plastic container that has a good lid, and freeze for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  • To scoop the ice cream, leave the container out for about 30 minutes, if the ice cream is too frozen to be scooped well.

More ice creams made with condensed milk

No churn, no fuss, ready in no time. That's how I like things done! And you know what's the best thing about using condensed milk to make ice cream?

No ice crystals formed, none at all!With regular ice creams you have to mix a few times to avoid the ice forming, but it's not the case here. Just throw the ice cream in the freezer and wait for a few hours.
