“Ice cream is exquisite, too bad it’s not illegal!”
Voltaire

Vietnamese Coffee Ice CreamThis very unusual and ADDICTIVE Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream would be illegal if Voltaire had his way! It is beyond exquisite … silky, velvety, deep, sensuous and nothing like I’ve made or bought before. It calls your name as you read the Bible of ice creams, The Perfect Scoop, a brilliant piece of work by Monsieur Lebovitz. His style of writing is charming, humourous and addictive as are his recipes. Bookmarking seems futile as I want to try each recipe, one tempting page after another!The Perfect Scoop, David LebovitzCoffee HAD to be my first pick for several reasons, primarily because it is my ‘favouritist’ flavour of all time. I am a HUGE coffee addict with a natural affinity to anything ‘coffee‘. Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream was also my first choice since the lovely lady who sent me the book from the UK, Jehanna @ The Cooking Doctor, included a bag of her favourite coffee in the precious parcel. The book itself had me singing, the coffee sent me into high pitched sopranos. Merci Jehanna!!Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream Must be something in the air, the change of season, cooler weather around the corner, or then this coffee cupping session by the Indian baroness of coffee … filter coffee seems to be the only thing I want to use. My journey into the cup of coffee got more exciting all thanks to this hugely talented lady! It got even more exciting thanks to The Cooking Doctor!!Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream

Vietnamese Coffee Ice CreamI also picked this eggless ice cream recipe as it uses ingredients easily available here in India {condensed milk and low fat cream}. Heavens knows how hard we try and overcome the non availability of whipping cream here, a daily culinary battle of sorts for many of us! A recipe that says ‘low fat cream’ is music to my ears. No substituting for once, and perfect scoops guaranteed! {I made this just over a month ago, hence the ‘melting moments’ as the weather was still warm}. Now I’m Ready For Dessert!!

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

    Coffee is the perfect addition to ice cream. It reminds me that I need to look for a recipe for Chai ice cream, taht would be wonderful too:D

  • Lyndsey ~The Tiny Skillet

    I bookmarked this before I was finished reading it. Coffee is my favorite flavor, and now I discovered that my daughter likes it too…:( so I have to fight for the coffee ice cream. I also did a post on Vietnamese coffee (which my daughter also likes) It’s gotta be the sweetened condeed milk. Maybe I’ll have to make some dulce de leche too… 😀

    • Deeba @ PAB

      LOL I know what you mean. I have to fight the kids off coffee ice cream too as they now love coffee anything and everything as well. That Vietnamese coffee sounds great. David Lebovitz mentions it in his ice cream recipe too…

  • foodwanderings

    OMGoodness the texture looks amazing. Love coffee ice cream, tiramisu and anything coffee dessert. Never crossed my mind availability of ingredinet such as whipping cream in India. Beautiful post as always Deeba. Been too long missing you lady!

  • Maia

    4 ingredients sounds too good to be true. I’ll look forward to seeing more recipes from this book as time goes on.

    There is another quote that is my absolute favorite:-
    “Me and ice cream.Best friends forever.” ~Jessi Lane Adams

    I am sure we all are able to connect with it.When it comes to ice-cream,there are so many memories that rush into one’s head – be it enjoying Ice-cream after school during childhood days,or mom/dad buying us a favorite bar of orange popsicle post dinner.
    The recipe sounds very tempting,so sure that I am going to try this!Just to clarify,do you mean espresso when you say strongly brewed coffee?

    • Deeba @ PAB

      Love that quote…and the flood of ice cream memories! Some things in life are always good; ice cream is one of them!! Yes espresso is originally in the recipe … but I used strongly brewed ground coffee that Jehanna sent me.

  • Rianne

    This is so perfect! We just had a scorching hot week here in San Diego so I made some avocado ice cream. I used condensed milk, whipped cream and no egges too. I LOVE Vietnamese coffee! I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing Deeba!

  • Renata

    When I was a child I didn’t like drinking coffee (which I enjoy today), but I liked just anything coffee flavored and I remember we used to buy a coffee ice cream I was crazy about, but after a short while it disappeared from the supermarkets. As soon as I return to my home in Brazil, where I have an ice cream maker, I will certainly give this one a try. Thanks for sharing!

    You know that favouritist is not a word, right Deeba? I have been told this several times when I use the American version favoritist but I argue that there are times when no other word seems to convey that feeling. I’m so with you. Coffee is my favoritist ice cream too. 🙂

  • sandhya

  • jehanne@thecookingdoctor

    Your ice-cream looks just the perfect scoop Deeba! I’m so glad you like Lavazza too, I use it as well for anything that calls for espresso, ironically I havent tried coffee ice-cream! I’m salivating at your gorgeous pics, so better take the ice-cream maker now:-)

    I love it, Deeba, love it! Coffee, as you know, is one of my all time favorite flavors and number one when it comes to ice cream. I love the list of ingredients, too, imagining something icier, lighter, more heavenly. Gorgeous, gorgeous!!!
