This homemade chocolate and coffee ice cream recipe is both simple and unique. It has a subtle taste of coffee without being overpowering and the delicious chocolate flavour is made with store bought or homemade chocolate sauce. This is the best recipe for homemade ice cream!
Of all the things to go out and buy, I recommend finally getting that ice cream maker you’ve always fantasized about. If you daydream about making your own homemade ice cream on a yearly basis, now is the time to finally seize the moment and purchase that elusive doohickey and begin your summer of small-batch, exclusive, one-of-a-kind ice cream that you can call your very own. You don’t have to get crazy with the flavours, but you can. Having your own ice cream maker opens opportunities for newfound creativity and potentially a brand new favourite ice cream maker recipes; however, don’t worry about having to be too unique. My chocolate and coffee ice cream is the perfect way to break in your new ice cream maker!
Freedom To Create New Flavours Of Homemade Ice Cream
You can make your classic flavours too with any degree of spin you like. My chocolate ice cream with coffee is just the recipe to start you on the right track. And, hopefully, get you comfortable making more traditional ice cream flavours, while at the same time giving you a little bit of room to be different.
For me, one of the setbacks I experience when I start using a new “maker” is my own expectation to be novel in my approach to the recipes I make. Don’t let that get in the way of enjoying your own homemade creamy frozen sweets. It doesn’t matter if you just want plain vanilla, or if you want to try it with some pretzels and peanut butter thrown in.
Custom Ice Cream Flavours
You will have lots of opportunities to customize your homemade ice cream. If your aim is to experiment, I recommend starting out with a blend like chocolate ice cream with coffee to set the tone for variety, while still sticking to relatively standard flavours.

Homemade Chocolate Coffee Ice Cream

Ice Cream Ingredients
- 1 cup of 35% whipping cream
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp store bought chocolate sauce or homemade chocolate sauce
- 1.5 oz of very strong coffee (1 tbsp of instant coffee to 1/4 cup of water)
- 1 tsp liquid sweetener such as maple syrup or your preference
Equipment Needed

How To Make Ice Cream With An Ice Cream Maker
Step 1: Freeze ice cream barrel the night before overnight.
Step 2: Prep the strong coffee, I suggest that you let it cool, but you may add it warm (not hot to the ice cream barrel, which may add additional churn time). To make strong coffee, just simply add 1 tbsp of instant coffee to 1/4 cup of water. Mix well. If you prefer cold brew coffee you can leave 2 tbsp of coffee overnight with ¼ cup of water. You can also use the same quantities for hot brew coffee and just let it cool.
Step 3: Add all ingredients to the ice cream maker for 20 minutes. At the 20 minute mark, you should have a soft serve ice cream. If you want it firmer, you should scoop it out and place it in a container to freeze for 4-6 hours.
