I’m not a fan of coffee. At all. But when hubby and I were in the kitchen late one evening thinking about new ice cream flavors to try (because we do that…a lot…), I’m not sure why I thought of coffee. Coffee with chocolate! So, we came up with our own version of mocha ice cream.
Every spoonful of this ice cream has the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate flavors. Since it’s egg-free, it’s so light and refreshing, perfect for an after-dinner treat. And a little more guilt-free, I like to think… (Since it’s already egg-free, feel free to make the vegan version by using non-dairy milk or cream!)
Coffee and non-coffee drinkers alike will enjoy this one!
