Rich Vietnamese coffee creates a creamy, indulgent dessert that blends bold espresso with sweetened condensed milk. Cold, silky scoops reward eager palates with an irresistible combination of intense coffee flavor and luxurious texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 600 milliliters / 20.3 fluid oz double cream
- ½ × 397 grams / 14 oz condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons / 30 ml instant coffee granules
- 6 cardamom pods, bashed to split
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
Instructions
- Coffee Infusion: Steep instant coffee with cardamom and cinnamon in hot water, allowing the spices to permeate the liquid for two hours to develop a profound aromatic profile.
- Preparation Base: Strain the coffee infusion, then blend double cream and condensed milk in a large mixing bowl, creating a smooth, rich foundation for the ice cream.
- Blending Process: Whisk the strained coffee liquid into the cream mixture using an electric mixer, transforming the texture into a thick, silky consistency that promises a luxurious frozen dessert.
- Freezing Stage: Pour the velvety mixture into a freezer-safe container, spreading evenly and ensuring a uniform surface before placing in the freezer overnight to solidify and develop deep flavor intensity.
- Serving Presentation: Remove the ice cream from the freezer, allowing a brief moment to soften, then scoop into elegant serving dishes, garnishing with a light dusting of ground cinnamon or a drizzle of condensed milk for an authentic Vietnamese coffee experience.
Notes
- Steep Strategically: Allow coffee and spices to infuse for two full hours to extract maximum flavor depth and complexity.
- Strain Carefully: Remove whole spices completely to prevent bitter or overwhelming texture in the final ice cream.
- Whisk Vigorously: Use electric mixer at high speed to ensure smooth, clotted cream-like consistency that prevents ice crystals.
- Freeze Patiently: Let the ice cream set overnight for ideal texture and flavor melding, avoiding premature serving.
