Prep Time 15 minutes
Freeze Time 5 hours
Total Time 5 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 10 servings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp espresso powder
  • 2 tbsp hot water
  • 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup salted caramel sauce (homemade or store bought works fine)
  • chopped dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the espresso powder and hot water until the powder has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or with a handheld mixer, pour in the heavy whipping cream and cooled espresso powder. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes)
  4. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla mixture until combined. Do not stir too much or you will deflate the whipped cream.
  5. Transfer to a 2-quart container or a loaf pan.
  6. Using a spoon, drizzle caramel sauce over the ice cream and then swirl the caramel throughout using a knife. Top with your favorite chopped dark chocolate if desired.
  7. Cover and freeze for 5 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Ice cream can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.
