Coffee ice cream with pecans (no eggs)

You can easily make your own coffee ice cream at home without using an ice cream maker and without churning. This espresso ice cream is perfect for when you want to make a delicious homemade dessert without having to use the oven.

It is made using condensed milk to give it a rich, creamy flavour. It is also made without eggs.

This no churn ice cream recipe can be prepared with very little hands on time and tastes every bit as good as any quality ice cream.

If your family and friends enjoy ice cream you could treat them to some homemade stracciatella ice cream or chocolate ice cream, both of which are just as easy to make.

Ingredients

• 700ml double cream
• 350g condensed milk
• 2 shots espresso
• 20g pecans to add to the ice cream plus a few extra to decorate
• About 3 tablespoons caramel sauce plus a little extra to decorate

How to prepare

Place the cream in a large bowl and whip until it forms peaks.

Add the condensed milk and a double shot of espresso to the whipped cream and whisk again until the espresso ice cream mixture has thickened.

Break the pecans into small pieces, add to the other ingredients and stir in until they are evenly mixed.

Transfer the ice cream mixture into a container suitable for the freezer such as a plastic tub with a lid. Make a few troughs in the mixture with a spoon, drizzle caramel sauce into the troughs and then cover with the ice cream mixture. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce evenly over the top.

Put the lid on the container and place in the freezer for around 6 hours or until frozen. This ice cream does not need to be churned whilst it is freezing.

Homemade ice cream made without an ice cream maker tends to set harder than many mass produced ice creams so I recommend it is taken out of the freezer around 15 minutes or so before you wish to serve it so that it softens enough to scoop.

To serve

Place scoops of ice cream in serving bowls. Sprinkle a few broken nuts over the top of the ice cream and add an extra drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.

To store

Store your homemade coffee and pecan ice cream in the freezer and use within a week.
