Coffee Ice Cream (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Coffee and ice cream are things that I often go out to enjoy with my friends. Here’s a coffee ice cream recipe, dedicated to my three closest friends: Greg, Alex, and Vic. 🙂

I know gelato goes through a different creation process than this coconut milk based ice cream does, but I can’t help taste the similarities in flavour. I had a lot of gelato when my bestie and travelled to Rome, Italy a few years ago. I know what you’re thinking – gelato isn’t vegan. No, it usually isn’t – but a chain of gelato stores throughout the city carried at least 3 flavours of soy gelato. There was also another place that had about 10 flavours (none of which tasted as good as the 3 flavours at the chain place).

Which of these would you choose if you could have one? Pistachio, coffee, or hazelnut? Admittedly, Greg and I always went for either pistachio or hazelnut, but I’m still learning about vegan ice cream making. I’ll probably attempt those two in the future. Coffee flavoured ice cream feels like an easy yes. It’s like when I go someplace and want a coffee, I get an espresso, because it’s safe. If it’s bitter, I can easily add sugar, plus there’s not much of it in the little cup. If it’s not good, at least it’ll be gone quickly.

Right. But, back to the coffee ice cream. It reminds me of my time in Rome, my best friend Greg (a genuine coffee fiend if ever there was one), and being around my dad – who loves ice cream and coffee, though not together.

This ice cream is good on top of waffles or pancakes, or on its own. It’s creamy, smooth, and not crazy-sweet.
