Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream (or low-fat cream for diet version)
- 1 cup Whole milk (or unsweetened almond milk for diet version)
- 3 shots Brewed espresso (cooled to room temperature)
- 2/3 cup Granulated sugar (or granulated sugar substitute for diet version)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream (or low-fat cream), milk (or almond milk), and granulated sugar (or sugar substitute). Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Do not bring to a boil.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the cooled brewed espresso, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 5
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Step 6
For a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours.
Step 7
Scoop and serve your cappuccino ice cream plain, or garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or shaved chocolate for extra flair.
