Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150 g) toffee bits
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Bloom the coffee granules: In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of instant coffee in 2 tablespoons of hot water. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Whip the heavy cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
- Combine sweetened condensed milk and coffee: In a separate bowl, mix the 14 oz (396 g) can of sweetened condensed milk with the cooled coffee mixture and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Fold the mixtures: Gently fold the coffee-condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy and stopping as soon as evenly combined.
- Add the toffee bits: Fold in 1 cup (150 g) of toffee bits, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top later.
- Freeze: Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smooth the top, and sprinkle the reserved toffee bits over the surface. Cover tightly.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping if too hard.
Notes
Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Cool coffee mixture before folding to prevent melting whipped cream. Use quality toffee bits for best crunch. Freeze in a wide, shallow container for better texture. Let ice cream rest 5-10 minutes before scooping. Store airtight up to 2 weeks. Variations include adding cocoa powder, nuts, spices, or using dairy-free substitutes.
