Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Instant espresso powder
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Vodka
- 0.25 cup Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 0.75 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
Whisk in 2 tablespoons of instant espresso powder until fully incorporated, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in 0.5 cup of heavy cream, 0.25 cup of vodka, and 0.25 cup of coffee liqueur. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
After 1 hour, remove the mixture from the freezer and use a fork to stir and break up any ice crystals. Return to the freezer.
Repeat this process every hour for 3-4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm but scoopable.
Before serving, allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Spoon into bowls or glasses and enjoy!
