Two things I love: COFFEE & ICE CREAM! Why not merge the two into one fabulous protein supplement? I love coffee ice cream. I've contemplated making some homemade ice cream since last summer... but never got the courage up to try it. After yesterday's Strawberry ice cream success, I figured I'd give it a try. So, I searched the internet to find an easy coffee ice cream recipe, altered it, and would you believe, I STILL GOT THE DIRECTIONS WRONG!! This one did not require cooking on the stove, but I cut the recipe to 1/4 and still forgot to change the amount of water in it! Oh Lord. Plus, if I don't make much sense in this post, it very could be because I'm drunk. Can you get drunk from 1/4 tsp of Rum in cup of coffee ice cream? My recipe called for rum flavoring and I did not have any. (I will have to get myself some Rum flavored syrup if DaVinci makes any... or, since I feel so good and liked it so much, maybe I should keep using the REAL rum? Hmmm...
So here is my accidental mistake. And let me just say that this ice cream recipe is more of a cold icy kind as compared to a smooth dairy/custard type. But, don't be fooled! The taste of this was awesome, and it stayed VERY cold the entire time I ate it! No dripping. No melting. Hey, I even let it sit on the table while trying to food porn the thing!
I stuck 1/4 of a Lemon Pizelle in it to give a Coffee Shop treat effect!
COFFEE ICE CREAM (I am posting the recipe which produced the above result, although it wasn't the one I was to follow!)
Mix these dry ingredients:
1/4 c Splenda (I used 1/8 c splenda, 1/8 Nature's Sweet Crystals)
1 tblsp Espresso coffee powder
1 tblsp dry cocoa powder
1/2 cup hot water
Then let this cool
Add:
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Rum flavoring (I did not have this so I used 1/4 tsp of REAL RUM, so if my words don't make sense, maybe I am drunk!)
1/4 cup plus 2 tblsp Vanilla Labrada Lean Body RTD in the cardboard container
