Coffee Ice Cream

5.14.12
Makes 5 cups

3 1/3 cups almond milk
2 cups no calorie sweetener (like splenda)
1 3/4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups very strong brewed coffee

In a mixer add 1 1/2 cups sweetener and 1 3/4 cups whole milk.
Mix about 4 minutes or until suger is dissolved.
add 3 1/3 cups almond milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Mix about 5 minutes.

In the meantime, boil on the stove mix the remaining 1/2 cups sweetener with the 2 cups brewed coffee to make a simple syrup.
Once the sweetener is dissolved pour coffee into mixer and mix until well blended.

Turn on ice cream maker and add ice cream to it.
I let mine go for 30 minutes.
It is much better if eaten right away.

Since there is no heavy cream in it, it will turn to a solid after being frozen.
Put ice cream in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to resoften (or put in blender).

  1. If you add about 2 teaspoons vodka the ice cream won't "block up" and freeze solid :-) And you can do it with almond milk that way as well!
