A Memorable Coffee Liqueur Ice Cream

Today, I have a delicious recipe for you, coffee Liqueur Ice Cream.  I know this recipe follows a period when I was absent form food world.  I am sorry for the very brief hiatus, but sometimes you just need to take a holiday from the holiday if you know what I mean lol! So, let's pick up where we left off shall we..

I had one last coffee recipe for “Coffee Week” but was not able to post since I had some urgent business to attend to, so here it is for you to enjoy.

A Tempting Coffee Liqueur Ice Cream

Since I had a whole lot of Mokatika (Angostura Coffee Liqueur) remaining from the Mocha Cake I did not want it go to waste….as if lol! hahaha! So, instead of inviting some friends for a drink, I decided to do an exquisite coffee liqueur flavoured ice cream that would really make you feel happy inside.

This coffee liqueur ice cream recipe, to me, is really poetry in motion. The pastelle hue of the ice cream punctuated with alcohol is an ice cream and alcohol lovers dream. Who says you can't enjoy both worlds?

Anyhow, follow the recipe step by step and you'll have an ice cream that will have everyone wanting more and feeling somewhat *read slowly in a semi high drawl* calm and collective in a ….nice …..happy….way *hic* lol!

OK enough fooling around 🙂

Instead of the basic custard base as in the coconut ice cream recipe, I opted to use another base using Cream so you all would be exposed to the variety of ways of making ice cream. You would also notice that the technique of making the ice cream is a bit different as well. Instead of the normal ice cream machine or ice cream pail, I used a freezer technique that I learnt from David Lebovitz.

This idea for the ice cream all stemmed from a question that I played with in my mind for some time…How would you make ice cream from scratch without the use of an ice cream machine?

Well here are the results of my delicious experiment: a coffee liqueur ice cream, made from a cream base that you can make using only a freezer and a little elbow grease and patience.

Here's Coffee Liqueur Ice Cream Recipe.

Here are the steps for the freezer method:

5. Continue checking the ice cream stirring every time while the ice cream freezes.

  1. This ice cream ricipe looks truly delicious!

    And as always, lol, I’m confused where there is “cups” involved, since we use ml, and a “cup” varies from country to country. At first I was really happy to see the 1/3 cup marked with 80 ml, but then I saw the 1 cup marked with 250 ml… Okey, I admit, me and algebra is not the best of friends but I do know 3×80 makes 240:-)

    Not that the 10 ml makes any difference in this particular case, but when it comes to baking, Oh Lawd! Hope you now see my confusion about the cup?! 🙂

    Have a great weekend!

  2. Hahaha, that’s great … not confusing at all 🙂 So if you are using both US and British cup, I guess you don’t have a standard cup TnT. So if baking and the cake don’t turn out good you can always blame it on the cup!

    US cup is 240 ml and the British cup is 280 ml (for those who don’t know)
