Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cooled coffee, granulated sugar, and instant espresso powder until the sugar and espresso powder are fully dissolved.
Pour the coffee mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to chill.
After 1 hour, remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals.
Return the dish to the freezer and repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, or until the cappuccino ice is completely frozen and has a fine, granular texture similar to a granita.
While the cappuccino ice is freezing, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together in a stand mixer or large bowl with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Cover and chill the whipped cream until ready to serve.
To serve, spoon the cappuccino ice into glasses or small bowls. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and/or dark chocolate shavings, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing cappuccino ice!
