Why This Recipe Works

  • A high-butterfat base makes for a rich, creamy ice cream.
  • 2 tablespoons of ground coffee produces a noticeable but not-too-bitter coffee flavor.
  • A moderate amount of sugar keeps the focus on the coffee, not the cream.

If you're a fan of sweet, milky lattes and the Haagen-Dazs style of mild, creamy coffee ice cream, this is the recipe for you. It's rich and buttery with a nice kick of coffee flavor for balance and only a touch of bitterness to keep the sugar in check.
