No Churn Coffee Ice Cream Recipe

Coffee Ice Cream is one of those classic ice cream flavors that everyone loves but doesn’t always think to make. Luckily for you, this No Churn Coffee Ice Cream recipe is SUPER easy to whip up (literally)!

No churn ice cream is sometimes called sweetened condensed milk ice cream or condensed milk ice cream because it’s a homemade ice cream with sweetened condensed milk and whipping cream. Basically, you fold the sweetened condensed milk into whipped cream. In this case, we’re adding coffee flavor!

Equipment Needed to Make No Churn Ice Cream


How to Make Coffee Ice Cream

Step 1. In a small bowl, whisk together the instant espresso powder and hot water until the powder has dissolved.

Step 2. Add the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the heavy whipping cream and mix on medium speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks– about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3. Next, add the coffee extract and mix to combine.

Step 4. Add the sweetened condensed milk and fold it gently into the whipped cream– you don’t want to deflate the whipped cream. Transfer the mixture to a 9×5 loaf pan or ice cream container and wrap it in plastic wrap.

Step 5. Freeze overnight, or at least 12 hours. Scoop and enjoy.

Tips for Making No Churn Ice Cream

  • Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream.
  • Do not use low-fat sweetened condensed milk. You need the fat content to help prevent ice crystals from forming in the ice cream.
  • 2 Tablespoons of vodka mixed into the ice cream will help keep homemade ice cream softer and more scoopable. But skip this if serving to kids.
  • When storing, cover the surface of the ice cream with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent ice crystals from forming on top.
  • If tightly sealed, ice cream will last months in the freezer.
