Prep time 10 minutes
Servings 5

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

If you’re looking for a cold, creamy coffee ice cream recipe that’s not too fussy, this is it. No cooking required. Instant espresso powder provides a stronger flavor than instant coffee crystals, but both make delicious ice cream. Instant espresso powder is usually found alongside coffees at the grocery store. Chocolate chips makes it even more indulgent.

Instructions

In medium bowl thoroughly combine sugar, ground cinnamon and espresso powder. Add milk, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Whisk cream and vanilla into milk mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours or until very cold.
Stir cream mixture. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate morsels. Pour into 1 1/2-quart ice cream freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer’s directions. Transfer to covered food storage container. Freeze at least 2 hours before serving.
