Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee (5 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon water (15 milliliters)
  • 250 milliliters pastry cream (about 1 cup)
  • 30 grams sugar (optional, can be replaced with honey, maple syrup, or sweetener)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee with water until homogeneous.
  2. Add the pastry cream and sugar (or substitute) to a bottle with a tight lid.
  3. Pour in the dissolved coffee mixture and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes to mix.
  4. Place the bottle in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. Check the ice cream by shaking the bottle; if there’s no sound of liquid, it’s ready.
  6. Leave at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to develop a creamy texture.

Notes

For a plant-based version, use a thick cooking cream like oat cream. Serving suggestions include garnishing with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, or pairing with an espresso shot for an affogato experience.
