This Espresso Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe combines the rich flavors of espresso and creamy chocolate chips in a smooth homemade ice cream base. Perfect for coffee lovers seeking a refreshing frozen treat, this dessert is easy to prepare using an ice cream maker and requires no cooking, just mixing and freezing.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons espresso powder (adjust based on coffee flavor preference)

Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Freeze Ice Cream Maker Bowl: Place the bowl of your ice cream maker in the freezer for 24 hours ahead of time to ensure it is thoroughly frozen and ready to churn the ice cream.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and espresso powder until the espresso powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into the pre-frozen ice cream maker bowl. Start the ice cream maker and churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20 minutes.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: About halfway through the churning process, add the mini chocolate chips to the ice cream so they are evenly distributed throughout.
  5. Freeze Until Firm: Once the ice cream has thickened and reached a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours to allow the ice cream to fully set before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust espresso powder amount to your desired coffee strength; more will make the flavor bolder.
  • Ensure the ice cream maker bowl is well frozen for optimal churning results.
  • If you don’t have mini chocolate chips, chop regular chocolate chips into smaller pieces.
  • Use a freezer-safe container with a tight lid to prevent ice crystals.
  • Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping for easier serving.
