Ingredients

  • 125 g – 4.4 oz sugar
  • 50 ml – 1.7 fl oz milk
  • 300 ml – 10 fl oz heavy cream – for whipping
  • 1 egg
  • 75 ml – 2.5 fl oz Kahlúa
  • 1 espresso shot

Instructions

  1. Beat the egg and the sugar with an electric mixer until pale and creamy.

  2. Add the milk mixed with the coffee, cream, and Kahlúa.
  3. Whisk with the electric mixer until all the ingredients are well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the ice cream machine and churn for about 30 minutes, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  5. Spoon the ice cream into a container (an old ice cream tub works well) and cover with a lid.
  6. Keep in the freezer overnight.

Recipe Notes

If you do not have an ice cream maker, whisk all the ingredients, then pour the mixture into a container. Place cling film directly on the surface of the ice cream so it sits in contact with the mixture and seals it well, then cover with a lid. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze overnight.
