Coffee Ice Cream

 Ingredients: 

• 2 cups of heavy cream
• 1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• 3 tablespoons of instant coffee powder (or approximately 2 tbsp. of instant espresso powder)
• 3-4 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
• 2-3 tablespoons of water (more or less as needed)
• 1/8 teaspoon of salt

Directions:

1. Mix the coffee and cacao powder with water to form a thick syrup. Use more or less water as needed to incorporate the powders.
2. Pour the heavy cream into a medium sized bowl. With a hand mixer, whip it until it forms stiff peaks. You may also use a stand mixer.
3. Add the coffee "syrup," condensed milk, and salt. Mix until well combined. Make sure to scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl.
4. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer safe container. Cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for several hours until it is frozen.

Optional: drizzle chocolate sauce into the ice cream to create chocolate swirls.
