Best homemade Coffee Ice Cream recipe

0 In a large mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the cream until it reaches soft peaks. Soft peaks are when the cream holds its shape but still flop when beaters are lifted.
1 Add the sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee granules (or espresso powder), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the coffee granules are dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
2 At this point, you can do a taste test and see if you want to add more coffee or any optional add-ons. If you are looking for a rich coffee flavor, you can add more coffee. If you want chocolate chip coffee ice cream, fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. For a crunchy factor, add your choice of nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts. Get creative and sprinkle in crushed cookies or biscotti for extra texture. Or, for a touch of indulgence, swirl in some caramel or chocolate sauce.
3 Once everything is well incorporated, transfer the mixture into a lidded container suitable for freezing. Smooth the top with a spatula.
4 When the ice cream reaches the desired firmness, usually after about 6 hours of freezing, it's ready to be enjoyed! Freeze for 4 hours for a soft-serve consistency.Scoop it into bowls or cones, and eat to your hearts content!
