What does a girl do when 100 degrees is the norm?
OK so I have a new Cuisinart ice cream maker because my 1970s version finally died. So I was looking for anti-melting recipes. I met Don Pablo the coffee Lord on Saturday at Costco. (See my earlier post today). What an experience. I’m still blown over from it. So I had some left over coffee from all my Sunday morning experimentations.  Not wanting to be wasteful and discovering a whole new level of LOVE JUICE; Let me tell you this leaves ALL the big names and numbers in the dust!
REALLY HARD TO DESCRIBE HEAVEN but here goes the ingredients:
Makes about 1.5 quart
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups brewed strong coffee; add 1-2 tsp or more of espresso powder as needed if not strong enough to your liking
3/4 cup half-and-half or whatever kind of creamy milk substance you have
Instructions:
Don’t worry there were no recipes or documentation with my Cuisinart machine. Just GO for it. Welcome to the paperless society. Whisk together the condensed milk, coffee, espresso powder, and half-and-half. Freeze the ice cream maker unit according to the manufacturer’s directions, or in my case there were none so just GO FOR IT and add ingredients. I added about 1-1/2 tsp of ground coffee into the mix for fun. It was not noticeable and I think added to the whole sensory experience. Eat immediately then transfer leftovers (if any) to a covered container. Share with family and friends and enjoy!
DH says he would omit the espresso powder & grounds and go with that. Me, I LOVE IT just the way it is. I think I will have it for BREAKFAST!
