I have a funny relationship with coffee as I must admit that I like the taste, as was obvious when I started hoeing into this delicious no churn ice cream, but I don't drink it normally so I'm able to act superior when people confess being slaves to their morning coffee (all in good fun of course). I made this batch along with a few others and it was not a good day as I over-whipped the cream on not one but two of the batches. I believe I have a legitimate excuse but you can read about that in the notes section. That's why the batch pictured is much smaller than the yield of the recipe, because this was my second attempt and I didn't have much cream left.

The 'no churn' method is great for occasional batches but if you want to get serious about your ice cream making I suggest you invest in an ice cream maker designed for home use.

The two ice cream makers I recommend are the Cuisinart ICE-70 and the Breville BCI600 XL. Click the images below to read more about those two machines or check out my complete guide to ice cream makers to see all the options and read the pros and cons of each.

• As mentioned in the intro, I managed to over-whip the cream in my first attempt at this recipe and I think I have a legitimate excuse. The recipe instructs to add the vanilla, condensed milk, kahlua and instant coffee to the cream first then start the whipping process. With all these extra ingredients in there I didn't notice the cream go to soft or hard peaks which led to it being over-whipped into butter. My takeaway from this is to always add the flavorings after the cream is whipped
• I also couldn't find any chocolate coated coffee beans at my supermarket so in the first batch I actually made my own... but they didn't turn out that great. The problem was that the coffee beans were too big and dominated the flavor with bitterness. In the second batch you see pictured I just added the chocolate, which I shaved rather than 'chopped' to get the pieces small enough for easy consumption
