Cheats Cofee Ice Cream - so easy

 Cheats Coffee Ice Cream

This is amazing and real quick; the only thing that takes long in this recipe is the freezing part afterwards. You will need a mixer, e.g. Kenwood, Kitchen Aide or even a handheld mixer will do.

·         1 x Can of Condensed Milk – left in the fridge from the previous day

·         300ml Whipping Cream – you can get this at Woolworths

·         2Tbsp of Instant Espresso Powder

·         10ml Vanilla Paste

·         1Tbsp Of Coffee liqueur  - optional but I like it, as it brings that extra bit of coffee flavour

Method:

Pour the cold condensed milk in the mixing bowl; add the vanilla and the cream the start whisking on high till the mixture has started to thicken slightly. Now add the Espresso powder along with the liqueur, and whip till everything as just doubled in size. Take a rubber spatula and scrape around the sides of the bowl, making sure none of the good stuff is stuck to the side then fold everything for about 5 folds. Spoon into an old ice cream container or a 1Lt yoghurt tub, and freeze till needed.

Serving suggestion: serve 2 scoops in a glass with some Espresso reduction drizzled over.

Espresso Reduction/Syrup

·          100g Brown Sugar

·         2Tbsp Of Coffee Liqueur - optional

Method:

Place everything into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer down till reduced by halve or a nice thick syrup consistency.
