Even if you’re not whipping up a custard or using an ice cream churning machine, you’ll still be whisking quite a lot. Egg whites should be as firm as possible, and the rest of the ingredients should be added very slowly. Crushed nuts provide a fantastic base for other toppings. Before freezing, you may add crushed coffee beans or chocolate chips to the mixture for a unique flavour and presentation. Add some cooked meringue on top for a special treat.
This summer’s sweet treat should be both delicious and simple to prepare. Relax with a bowl of coffee ice cream and spend quality time with your loved ones.
