  9. Coffee flavoured ice cream can sometimes be quite costly. I usually make it very economically, by mixing 4 tsp. instant coffee with 4 tsp. of warm water. Then I add that to 2 litres of softened vanilla ice cream. Mix it with eletric mixer. Your recipe looks AWESOME!

  13. Ive been making this since last summer - if you want to add an adult flavour, pour a little Kaluha over the ice cream before topping it with cream and freezing it. For our local gals, Island farms makes an awesome coffee chip ice cream.
