Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of boiling water.
  2. Combine the sweetened condensed milk and the dissolved coffee in a heatproof bowl.

  4. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened.
  5. Remove the bowl from the heat.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  7. Refrigerate the cooled mixture until chilled.
  8. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled coffee mixture until combined.
  10. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container.

Ensure the coffee mixture is completely cooled before folding in the cream to maintain texture.

Beating the mixture halfway through freezing helps create a smoother, creamier consistency.
