| Yield: | about 1 quart ice cream |
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons espresso powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, Dutch-process preferred
- 2 cups (1 pint) cold heavy cream or whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 Oreo cookies, broked into small pieces
Directions
1) Whisk or mix together the milk, sugar, espresso powder, and cocoa till the sugar has dissolved.
2) Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla.
3) Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.
4) Stir cookie bits into soft ice cream, and serve immediately.
5) For firmer ice cream, place in a covered container. Place in the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, until ice cream is as hard as you like it. Note: Freezing longer than this will make the ice cream rock hard; plan on softening at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or so before serving, if the ice cream has been in the freezer longer than a few hours.
6) Don't have an ice cream maker? Simply pour the chilled mocha cream into a bowl, place the bowl in the freezer, uncovered, and stir the cream every hour. After about 4 hours or so, it'll be soft-serve consistency. Continue to stir and freeze till it's the consistency you like. While it won't be as creamy as churned ice cream, it'll be absolutely delicious. After 6 or more hours in the freezer, it'll become quite hard. To serve, simply remove from the freezer for 15 minutes or so, to soften it enough to make it "scoopable."
Yield: about 6 to 8 rich servings.

- My hubby and I made this ice cream Thursday evening. It is fabulous. He is a big ice cream fan, me not so much but we both thought it was wonderful and will definately make this often. I can always count on King Arthur for terrific recipes and who knew, ice cream recipes as well.

- Delicious! It is so creamy with a deep mocha flavor. I liked that it uses cocoa instead of chocolate syrup. I think that gives it a richer chocolate taste. I used 2% milk to make it a bit healthier and it still turned out great. Next time I might try to replace a bit of the whipping cream with some milk too. That might make it lose some of the creaminess, but the flavor is so good that it should be okay. I also added about 12 chocolate stuffed oreos as 8 didn't seem like enough. I just used instant coffee in place of the Espresso powder, and that was perfect.

- I haven't made this recipe yet but it looks incredible. Is there a recipe for the cones? That's what I really want to make. Thanks.
Sorry, we don't the recipe for the cones online. Check out the pizzelle recipes though, they can be used as cones or waffle dishes

- Well if you love chocolate/espresso, this is phenominal. I am trying to cut the sugar and dairy fat as well. Please try my tweak of this recipe...you won't be sorry! 2 c. milk; 1/4 c. sugar+1/4 c. Splenda; the espresso and cocoa; 1 c. cream; 1 t. coffee liquor instead of vanilla; 1/2 c chopped Macadamias instead of the cookies. The texture will obviously not be as creamy, falling between frozen yogurt/sorbet......but the flavor and lowering of sugar and fat makes it worth it! Very easy recipe as well without all the cooking/cooling prep which other types of ice creams have. Pure nirvana! Thanks KAF!

- Super easy, quick and delicious. I whipped this up to add to our 4th of July celebration. My husband loves coffee flavored desserts and he gave this two thumbs up. Will make again soon.

- I have a Cuisinart ice cream machine, so I was familiar with this recipe. Being a coffee junkie, it is one of my favorites. I don't keep espresso powder in the house, but I do have extra-bold, dark roast K-cups for my Keurig coffeemaker. The coffee is ground to a very fine, almost powdery consistency, so I just substitute 2 T unbrewed K-Cup coffee, whisked with the cocoa, sugar, and milk. Then I heat it in the microwave to bring out the coffee flavor a little more, let it chill down, and proceed with the recipe. You end up with a very good coffee flavor and tiny flecks of coffee bean in the ice cream, which is nice. Oh, and the caffeine jolt! I keep forgetting that I shouldn't eat this stuff after 5 p.m.!!

- Sooooo good! This has a wonderful mocha flavor, yet it is so balanced that my coffee-adverse husband still enjoyed it.
