Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Plain full-fat yogurt
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 120 milliliters Espresso or strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon Instant coffee powder
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain full-fat yogurt, heavy cream, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the cooled espresso or strong brewed coffee, instant coffee powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Whisk thoroughly until fully incorporated and smooth.
Taste the mixture to ensure the balance of sweetness and coffee flavor is to your liking. Add a little more sugar or coffee if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into the bowl of your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the churned frozen yogurt into an airtight container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up for scooping.
Serve the coffee frozen yogurt in bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings, a drizzle of coffee syrup, or crushed cookies for extra flavor and texture.
Store any leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 week.
