Ingredients
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups (473ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp instant coffee granules
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Add-ins
- ½ cup (43g) Diamond of California almonds, chopped
- Hot fudge, as needed for swirling
Instructions
- Chill Equipment: About 20-30 minutes before starting, place a metal mixing bowl and the beaters of your electric mixer in the freezer to chill thoroughly.
- Whip the Cream: Remove the chilled bowl and beaters from the freezer. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the bowl and add the instant coffee granules. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until it forms stiff peaks, approximately 3 minutes.
- Mix in Condensed Milk: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk gently using a spatula until fully combined without deflating the whipped cream.
- Layer the Ice Cream: In a freezer-safe loaf pan, add a layer of the ice cream mixture, then sprinkle with a layer of chopped almonds and drizzle swirls of hot fudge over the top. Repeat this layering process three times, finishing with almonds and hot fudge on top. Use a spoon or small squeeze bottle to create even swirls of hot fudge.
- Freeze Overnight: Cover the pan and freeze the assembled ice cream overnight (approximately 12 hours) until firm.
- Scoop and Serve: Once fully frozen, scoop out the ice cream and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Freeze the ice cream overnight for at least 12 hours to achieve proper firmness.
- The coffee flavor is stronger than typical store-bought coffee ice cream; adjust the instant coffee amount to taste.
- Layering the almonds and hot fudge throughout the ice cream ensures even distribution of flavor and texture.
- No ice cream maker is needed, making this recipe simple and accessible.
- Using a chilled metal bowl and beaters helps create perfectly whipped cream.
