Homemade Coffee Ice Cream
Kim’s homemade coffee ice cream with chocolate chips is the simple but decadent dessert you have been searching for all Summer long.
Homemade coffee ice cream is a household favorite with our family.
It’s the only time in which our son is allowed to have anything coffee related.
This recipe is a great option when you want a smooth and creamy coffee flavored dessert.
Where we live, finding an espresso style ice cream is a chore. That’s why we decided to start making a homemade coffee ice cream.
I am very pleased with this dish because it is so smooth and tasty. Unlike other store bought brands, it has a soft-serve texture.
You know what I mean? Other brands have that “rough” feeling on your tongue.
Almost like they have been frozen to the point the milk fat turns hard and chewy. Our homemade coffee ice cream doesn’t have that problem.
It’s soft and luxurious, like velvet.
The coffee flavor really shines with this homemade coffee ice cream recipe. It cuts through the sweetness without being overpowering and making everything bitter.
The chocolate chips freeze and add a little texture variety to the dessert.

This recipe looks fantastic. I have a couple of questions: Can this be made in an ice cream making machine? Would heavy cream mean 35%MF (things are a bit different here in Canada!)? By the way, we just love coffee ice cream – looking forward to trying this gem of a recipe!
Hi, Terri! Yes, heavy cream contains approximately 35% milk fat. We’ve never tried to make this recipe in an ice maker, but I think it should work. However, it may change the consistency a bit. Most of the ice cream maker recipes I’ve seen use whole milk and sugar instead of sweetened condensed milk. If you decide to give it a try, we’d love to know how it turns out. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
Ugh, this looks fantastic! My fiance and I are big coffee drinkers, and only recently converted to cold brew as our morning cup. It just makes the coffee so much sweeter and more indulgent than regular old hot coffee, and it just seems like the perfect addition to delicious coffee ice cream! Yours looks a like like a gelato in texture, which I love. We will have to try this one out soon!
I love that you incorporated actual cold brew coffee into the recipe. Feel like omost coffee-flavored recipes are only based on the fact that they have espresso powder included. Thanks, I’m trying this out soon!
This. Looks. Amazing! I love coffee ice cream, so I’ll be sure to make this soon!!
This homemade coffee ice cream looks so delicious, especially with the chocolate chips.
