Coffee Almond Ice-Cream is a delicious, soul soothing (considering its almost 40 degree C) recipe- exactly what you need in these scorching Summers. If you are like me who abstains from Ice-cream for rest of the year only to eat into as much Ice-cream as possible in these 2 months (April and May), then here’s your chance.
It’s been almost a year now, between the first time I made this recipe and today when I am posting it here. It’s a long period, unusually long. It just slipped out of my mind. I made it few times last year and served it to a wide range of audience evoking rave reviews from them. However, somehow this recipe did not make a mark on my food-diary and I ended up forgetting about it.
Come April, this year when I was planning the list of recipes to be prepared this Summer, I was reminded of this fabulous Ice-cream by my better half. The thought of making this Ice-cream this year, had me delighted but then skimming through my diary I was dejected to learn that I had failed to put down the recipe in my diary.
I recollected that I had drawn inspiration from a particular website, making some modifications to it, but I couldn’t remember the source of this recipe (I would like to specify, as and when I come across that source I will put the link here.). Thankfully I had shared the recipe text with my partner on Whats App and a quick search of keyword “Coffee Almond” helped me get the same recipe again.
With the recipe back in my fold, I quickly whipped this Ice-Cream not once but twice. I was delighted with my finding and I was ready to share this recipe through this post.
Making Ice-cream at home is one of the loveliest experiences to have. If you are able to make one without a commercial Ice-Cream maker, then you are going to savor this experience for life. This is an easy Ice-cream to make with few ingredients (just 5) and takes 5-7 mins to prepare (of course discounting the 8 hours it takes to freeze).
What awaits you at the end of those 8 hours is a soft, rich and creamy experience that you would like to have again and again. Make this delicious Coffee Almond Ice cream and share your feedback with us in comment section below.

Serves: 1.5liter

- 500 gms Whipping Cream
- 3-4 tbsp Chocolate Spread
- 180 gms Condensed Milk (Milkmaid)
- 1 tbsp Instant Coffee Powder (Bru)
- 10-12 Almonds-Blanched and Peeled, toasted lightly, Few Almonds made into slivers and few crushed coarsely
- We will start with mixing of coffee powder in 1 tbsp water.
- We will whip the cream now with an electric hand blender. Whip at medium speed (Blender speed 3). Let's whip the cream now. Whip until the cream doubles in volume
- Cream must almost double after whipping. Now we will add condensed milk. Mix again quickly with the blender
- Now, add Coffee mixture. Add crushed Almonds. Mix with a spatula.
- Transfer the contents to a container. We have taken an air tight container (2-liter volume).
- Put half the quantity of Ice-cream mixture. Put some Chocolate Spread. Put some Almond Slivers
- Pour remaining Ice-Cream mixture, Chocolate Spread. Finally, some more Almond Slivers. Cover the Container with a lid. Let's keep it in refrigerator
- Place Ice-Cream Container inside the freezer for 8-10 hours
- Tips:
- a) If you do not have an electric hand blender, it may take some hand exercise for you to whip the cream. You can whip manually with a balloon whisk -big size whisk or a fork.
- b) Ensure that the cream is chilled before you start whipping. Whipping at room temperature may not yield desired results
- Let's talk about the pointers that will help when you make Ice-cream
- a) The Container must be completely dry (not a single drop of water). If there are traces of water it may turn into ice particles and your ice-cream won't be as creamy as it should be
- b) Temperature of Freezer must be on Max Cold
- c) Ensure you defrost your refrigerator before you put your Ice-cream container in freezer.
- d) Ice-Cream container must be in direct contact with the freezer bottom. Never place the container on top of ice-tray or any other vessel
