How to add coffee flavor to vanilla ice cream? ›

A good place to start is sweet and salty add-ons like pretzel bits, salted nuts, chocolate chips or crushed candy. You can also use dessert sauces like hot fudge, lemon curd or salted caramel sauce.

Even easier to make compared to the milkshake or granita, all you need to do is to sprinkle a bit of the instant coffee crystals on top of your already scooped ice cream. Give it a few seconds to dissolve with the melting ice cream and enjoy.

By swapping ice cubes with scoops of the sugary treat, you can keep your coffee cool without watering it down. It will also make it extra sweet, so you can either skip the cream and sugar, or just pile it on top and consider it your dessert. Try mixing espresso with your ice cream.

My easy recipe for a Coffee Milkshake is the perfect summer beverage, made by blending cold coffee with ice cream. This deliciously slurp-able drink takes just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to make, and it easily rivals anything you'd find at Starbucks — for a fraction of the price!

Affogato – coffee, dessert and your after dinner drink, all rolled into one. This is what you have when you're “too full for dessert”! Just pour espresso coffee over vanilla gelato or ice cream, enjoy the melty swirls and dig in. The Italians are genius.

A frappe is an iced beverage that has been shaken, blended, or beaten to produce a tasty, refreshing drink. It's served cold, usually has whipped cream, and can also have other toppings.

As we've already discussed, vanilla and coffee are absolutely delicious. There's a reason why the vanilla latte is on every coffee shop menu: it's one of the best pairings out there. The powerful sweetness of the vanilla is amazing on its own. It's creamy, sweet, floral, perfumey, and so bright.

Many long for coffee's deep flavor — the bitterness, the earthy profile, the chocolate undertones, and the interplay of acidity and sweetness. This is why coffee ice cream is such a treasured pairing. It blends our love for a strong caffeine buzz with the comfort and nourishment of a rich and creamy bowl of ice cream.

Affogato translates to "drowned" in Italian and is one of the simplest desserts you can create. It's a big scoop of vanilla ice cream with a hot espresso shot poured over it. When the affogato is ready to serve, the ice cream looks as if it has drowned in the coffee.

What is the best ice cream combination? ›

Scoop into a Caramel Mocha Drizzle Affogato, delight in a unique Whiskey Barrel-Aged Malt, or sample three different affogatos with the Roastery Affogato Flight. Both affogatos and malts can be customized with oatmilk based gelato.

To make a different ice cream flavor, fold 2 to 2 1/2 cups of finely diced mix-ins into the ice cream immediately after churning. Adding fresh strawberries makes a wonderful strawberry ice cream, but another fresh fruit, mini chocolate chips, or cookie or brownie crumbles would be great too.

Raw cookie dough is another favourite addition — chocolate chip is particularly good. Also look at stirring in crunchy additions such as praline-coated nuts or toffee popcorn or just add nuts on their own — peanuts stirred in when you are rippling vanilla ice-cream with a salty caramel sauce are particularly good.

Thoroughly combine the milk, cinnamon, and vanilla seeds and turn the heat to low, stirring occasionally. While the milk mixture is heating, cut the vanilla pod into several pieces and place them in the coffee grinder with the whole coffee beans. Grind for about 15 seconds or to your desired grind consistency.

Yes, coffee ice cream does contain caffeine.

On average, a scoop of coffee ice cream contains around 30-45 milligrams of caffeine. This is less than the amount of caffeine found in a typical cup of coffee, which can contain anywhere from 70-140 milligrams of caffeine depending on the size and strength of the brew.
