You are going to love this rich and creamy Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream. All the sweet flavors of Vietnamese coffee in a delicious ice cream treat!
Vietnamese Iced Coffee
I drink my coffee black now, but I have not gotten over my love of sweetened coffee. No one else does sweetened coffee better than the Vietnamese! Their secret? Sweetened condensed milk!
It's genius really - you get the creamy milkiness and the sweetness all in one, plus it even adds to the creaminess of the coffee.
Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream
You might notice that in my Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream there are flecks. Those are not vanilla beans, those are flecks of ground coffee. Some people use instant coffee so that it dissolves completely. I usually don't have any instant coffee in the house, so I just finely ground some of our coffee beans. I like the little bit of texture it adds, if you don't, just use instant coffee.
Tip to Keep Ice Cream from Freezing Too Hard
Another thing is that I use whole milk instead of cream. I buy raw milk that has the cream floating on top, so my pour was a little heavier on the cream than the milk. But I've made this with cream, with half and half and with whole milk.
It's all good to me. As with all frozen desserts, I add liqueur to keep it from freezing too solid - this was the perfect use with my Homemade Coffee Liqueur.
A scoop of this on top of a slice of this Flourless Chocolate Cake would be wonderful!

Good morning, Pam:)
As I drink my morning coffee, I shudder at the thought of it not being laden with lots of milk and sugar. I did drink coffee black for about 4 years many moons ago but deep down inside I always craved it "my way." So, I went back:)
As soon as I read this recipe I was thinking how cool it wwould be to add a dollop of this Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream to my morning coffee in lieu of milk and sugar. It sounds so extraordinarily yummy!
I better save this recipe, you just never know when the craving will hit!
Thanks so much for sharing, Pam...
