Ingredients For Coffee Ice Cream

Our answer

Nigella's One-Step No-Churn Coffee Ice Cream (from NIGELLISSIMA) is made with a combination of double cream and condensed milk. The sugar and fat combination, along with a small amount of alcohol, give the ice cream its structure and texture. The brioche bun doesn't really change the mouth feel of the ice cream, though it is a way that the Sicilians like to eat ice cream.

You could use whipping cream instead of double cream if you are in the UK. Whipping cream has a lower fat content but it also means that making the ice cream becomes a two step process as you need to whisk the cream to soft peaks first, before whisking in the remaining ingredients. However, we would not recommend using a cream with less than 30% fat content as the cream will not whisk well and the ice cream will have an icy, more solid texture.
