Rich creamy Coffee Vanilla Ice Cream with bold coffee flavor. No eggs, just whole milk, cream, ground coffee, and vanilla extract.

I finally made it! Ever since coffee ice cream became one of my favorite ice creams I have been wanting to make my own but never got round to it until this week. I added some vanilla extract into this Coffee Vanilla Ice Cream and I am delighted that it turned out really well. It was rich and creamy with just the right amount of coffee flavor in it.

Bold Coffee Flavor

Coffee ice cream would not be coffee ice cream if the coffee flavor is mild or weak. Some use instant coffee granules while others use strong brewed coffee. Yet others use coffee beans so that it can be easily removed from the milk mixture. The problem with brewed coffee is the addition of water and this is not ideal. Using coffee beans on the other hand means that the full flavor of the coffee may not be extracted. Also, a lot more coffee beans are needed to get the same result as ground coffee.

Coffee Vanilla Ice Cream

Brewing Ground Coffee in Milk

So, ground coffee is the way to go but how do you brew ground coffee with milk instead of water? I was not about to pour milk into my coffee maker. That is where these large food grade filter bags come in. They are approximately 5 inches by 6 inches in size and can easily hold a half cup of ground coffee. I bought these filters bags at my local Asian market and use them mainly for my herbal soups. Cotton muslin bags will also work.

Adding Flavoring

Like flavored coffee, flavorings like vanilla, almond, or hazelnut extract may be added. It is totally up to you. I chose vanilla because that is what I have in my pantry. Depending on how strong your coffee is, the additional flavoring should be adjusted accordingly. I put in 2 teaspoons but I think a tablespoon would be better. The recipe below has been adjusted accordingly.

The type of coffee used is again totally up to you. I used a decaffeinated bold flavor ground coffee so that we can enjoy the ice cream even in the evenings and not stay awake the entire night. 😉

Egg Free Coffee Ice Cream

For some reason, coffee ice cream (especially egg free coffee ice cream) is not as easily available. I am so glad I can now make it at home. Ro-Ri San and I really enjoyed this bold flavored Coffee Vanilla Ice Cream. I think you will too.

    Looks delish, Linda – could use some right now in fact! I make a similar one, based on a Greek café frappé, where I blitz instant coffee with cream. I’ll try your way soon!

      Thanks Ruby! Steeping the ground coffee inside the filter bag is a really effective way of getting the full coffee flavor into the milk. The steeping time can be adjusted according to preference.

    I find if I squeeze tea bags…and coffee bags, the result is very bitter. However, I suppose the sugar helps cut that. I’m going to try your eggless version! Thanks!!

      You can steep the coffee for a shorter period of time or simply not squeeze the filter bag. Enjoy… 🙂

    Any idea how almond or cashew milk would work instead of the whole milk?

      Ice cream made with plant based milk tend to be a little icy. I have not tried it but I think it will work if you don’t mind leaving it out to thaw a little before serving.

    Do you think I could use this recipe for popsicles. Instead of placing in Ice Cream Maker, place on popsicle molds?

    Great, no-fuss recipe! I love the steeping method, gets a satisfying coffee flavor in the milk.
    Found this a tad too sweet the first time around, but still loved your recipe and wanted to try a second time. Reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup and added a dash of salt for a light, refreshing twist. I think I’ll try adding bittersweet chocolate bits or crushed Biscoff next time :).

      The steeping method definitely gives a great coffee flavor. Yes, please reduce the sugar if you find it too sweet. Glad to hear you still enjoyed the recipe.
