Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream Result

So, did it happen? Noooooo ... it did not.

It is either I´d spoilt Mama´s ice cream machine - of which I will try and make another batch of ice cream this week to test it out again, OR this recipe is such that you simply cannot substitute condensed milk with cream. Anyhow, I froze the coffee mixture overnight after two failed attempt. It was hard as a rock the next day alright but not wanting to waste it, I moved them to normal cooling department and waited a good 2 hours to try the texture again. And you know what? It turned out marvelous! The Vietnamese Ice Cream was really, really good and I can say that it is THE most kicking I have ever tasted! What is not, when I had in it quite a fair sum of expresso + Nescafe powder in it eh.

So, if you´re feeling adventurous ... you can try this `without ice cream machine`recipe out while I improvise them further.

Recipe and Method
  • Boil 1 cup of Expresso and mix them with 1 1/2 tablespoon of Nescafe Classic
  • Mix in 3 tablespoon of white sugar (of adjust according to taste)
  • Bring 500 ml of cream to a boil in a pan, and pour the Coffee Mixture in. Mix well.
  • Let it cool for 1/2 hour before placing them in the freezer.
  • Move them to cooling department 2 hours before serving. Done.

As you can see, it is not very difficult to make but do feedback to me if you find the texture too hard, too soft.
