To everyone who lamented their lack of Vita-Mixes:
Most of yesterday’s Vita-Mix Ice Cream tips are just as useful for regular blenders or food processors! So you don’t have to be left out in the cold; you, too, can get cold inside, with vegan ice cream! Ice cream such as the one below:
3 Ingredient Coffee Ice Cream
(Serves 1)
- 1 cup milk of choice (You can use creamer or canned coconut milk if you want a creamier ice cream)
- 1 tsp instant coffee (such as Mount Hagan brand)
- Sweetener of choice, to taste
- optional: 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
In a cup, mix the coffee powder and sweetener into the milk. Pour into an ice cube tray or shallow container. Freeze. Blend in your Vita-Mix, blender, or food processor, and scoop out with an ice cream scoop. (It’s much more ice-cream–like if you have a Vita.) Optional: add chocolate chips.

Love the new header – it looks very CLEAN and neat…I love that. 🙂 Yay for coffee ice cream!

I love the new layout and your new header is very pretty! Although I personally don’t think your diet is that strange..but as a gluten free vegan, most people think I’m weird, so maybe I have a biased view haha.
I wish I had a Vita mix! They’re so expensive though..I saw it at costco the other day for 500 dollars (which I think is the usual price for it) and I was sad to have to slowly pass it by. Oh well. I’ll stick to small-time blenders for now. Mine is not good for making ice cream, but at least I can still do smoothies.
Have a good weekend Katie!

I’m in love with your new layout! I’m going to try such ice cream, this weekend i have a freezer to use, yippee!!
alex (spoonfulofsugarfree) says
Yeah the layout looks good! I really like the header-it’s a lot cleaner than the last one.
I have to try the ice cream method, though! I’ve never thought of doing that before. I might try strawberry ice cream…

Coffee ice-cream…I NEED you. I have been off the caffeine for a while now, but I could so make this with decaf. Thanks Katie, and I love the new header because I get to see your cute face, and the tagline is great!!!
PS – I think coffee ice-cream would go quite well cookie dough fudge babies. 🙂

*WITH cookie dough fudge babies. 😉
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
The header’s so freakin cute 🙂
Danielle says
I love the new layout! But, I don’t see what’s so “strange” about your diet 😉
Erika, unfortunately…the vita is a *little* too powerful to do food-processor stuff. If you’re making pesto, grinding nuts into nut flour, or something like that…I’d go with a food processor!
jqlee says
loooove coffee 🙂
the new layout is great. i like the “strange diet, normal life.” 🙂

Oh, now we are talking! Coffee ice cream! I have been craving it from the hot weather. Besides, another way to consume as much coffee as possible in a day! YUM!

Chocolate-Covered Katie says
Katherine,
No green eggs and ham, like you wanted ;). Maybe next year!
Justine says
I like the new layout a lot and expecially loved seeing your ‘baby making’ tab! Of course I knew what kind of babies you were referring to, but it still caught me a little off guard and made for a good laugh 🙂
Anne @ Food Loving Polar Bear says
I like your new blog layout, it’s cute 🙂
Vanilla says
I just did this…
OMG FRICKING AWEEEESOME!!
It’s soooo cheap and easy!! The only con is that it takes quite a long time to freeze but it’s worth it!
I used Vanilla french instant coffee and 3 packet of sweetener (about 2 tbsp) and it was soooo good 😀
I’ll be sure to give you the credits, my picture is not as beautiful as yours because I was to lazy to use an icecream scoop but I’m sure it tasted just as good! 😀

Alex says
As soon as it gets a bit warmer in the NE, I”m going to be trying all of your ice cream recipes
Alanna says
I love coffee ice cream!! Never would have thought to try it with instant coffee and I was worried it wouldn’t dissolve in room temp or cold milk, but this totally worked! I used 1 can (13.5 oz) of light coconut milk, one packet of french roast instant coffee, 3 T brown sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 T dark cocoa powder to make it mocha ice cream. 🙂 It wasn’t totally frozen after about 20 min in my ice cream maker, but enough so I could eat some as soft ice cream and I’m sure the rest will be even better tomorrow! So glad you re-linked this recipe the other day!
CC says
MMMMmmmmMMM! Coffee Ice Cream! I can’t wait 2 try this. But wait, I will have 2… I don’t have or use Instant Coffee (purist who grinds her beans!). Coffee is my favourite so if I can get this work out, this will b GREAT! I need 2 figure out a good one 4 rich vanilla too!
Thanks 4 the inspiration, who knew it could actually b so simple!!!!! So jazzed about this!
Kim says
If I just used already brewed coffee do you know how much I should use?
