Vietnamese Espresso Ice Cream with Chocolate Swirl

So smooth and creamy, this ice cream will be sure to impress your taste buds!

Ingredients (makes 1 tub of ice cream)

2 TBS Instant espresso powder ( I used Moccona)
1 TBS + extra 1 tsp Vanilla extract
600ml Thickened cream
1 can Sweetened condensed milk
1 pinch Salt
Good quality thick chocolate topping

Method

In a small bowl, whisk together the espresso powder, vanilla, salt and 2 TBS warm water, until the powder had dissolved.
Stir the espresso mix into the cream, and beat with stand mixer or electric beaters, until thick and soft peaks form Pour in the condensed milk, and whip until the ice cream base is combined with the condensed milk & again soft peaks form
Gently transfer to an airtight container, drizzle with the chocolate topping, and swirl with a knife to make a pattern. Place into the freezer and freeze until solid – at least 8 hours

Im definitely a big fan of a regular iced Vietnamese coffee at my local asian bakery. So when i saw this recipe as an ice cream form, it grabbed my attention immediately. It looks so refreshing for a summer day and will still give you that caffeine mix that i crave too

Oh wow so no need for an icecream churner? I wonder if it gets quite icy in the freezer. It looks amazing though.

Wish I had a stand mixer, my arms get sore mixing for very long these days. Looks yummy though.

I’ve made ice cream using condensed milk before, I found it to be oddly chewy but I might give this a go. Looks yumm. I like coffee desserts
