BAKED Sunday Morning: Coffee Ice Cream

I had to make this recipe twice. The first time I followed the recipe exactly and put in 1 teaspoon of salt per directions. I know. Silly me. I should have followed my instinct and just put in a pinch, but I didn't, so we ended up with salt ice cream. Not good. 


I made it again, though, and this time only added a pinch of salt. The result was a creamy delicious coffee ice cream which happens to be John's favorite. He has been happily eating it. I made a mark through the 1 teaspoon of salt in the recipe in the BAKED Explorations book and wrote in 'pinch', so I won't make the mistake of adding way too much salt when I make this again.


Served with a few coffee beans gave it a nice little crunch. Shhh! Don't tell anyone, but I actually ate this for breakfast. As hot as it has been this week, it tasted so much better than drinking hot coffee.

    I had to check my book to see for myself--yep, it says 1 tsp. Crazy. My usual salty caramel ice cream recipe only calls for 1/2 a tsp. I'm not a fan of coffee (or coffe flavored things), but that does look really good. =)

    Beautiful photo. I emailed everyone I know who has this cookbook...most of my family... and told them to do just what you did. We love homemade ice creams and this base has such a lovely texture even after being in the freezer for a day. Always enjoy your posts.

    This was my first time making anything with this group. And though I only made it once, I couldn't help but notice the salty taste. It's good..but more like a salted caramel taste than anything. I should have questioned it since most ice creams only require a pinch of salt! Your ice cream looks creamy...and such a pretty photo! : )

    Elaine-- this looks scrumptious! I haven't had coffee ice cream in ages but I am craving some mightily looking at your pictures! Thanks for the head's up on the 1 tsp. of salt. I have this cookbook so I'm going to mark my copy now. I'm sorry you had to have a ruined first batch!

    Looks wonderful! Ice cream for breakfast sounds entirely reasonable to me. Especially here in Austin where it's 108 F today!

    I love the idea of the coffee beans on top! Nice! I think we have the same ice cream dishes. :-)

    I can imagine how much better this would taste with less salt -- and with coffee beans... Yum! I have to admit that I ate a piece of coffee ice cream tart for breakfast, too! :)

    I also ended up with salt ice cream, but mine took on a salted caramel flavor that I didn't really mind. I want to try it again with actual coffee flavor though. Great tip to write it in the cookbook.

    That's definitely a late summer breakfast! It looks so pretty with the coffee bean on top.

    That's too bad that your first batch was ruined by the salt. I find I reduce the salt in many recipes, as it's just too much.

    So sorry you had to make this twice...but it looks as though it was worth the trouble! I didn't get to make any ice cream this past week end! We had Irene visiting! She left me with out power for about 20 hours...but that's ok because so many people have had so much worse! No power is the least of the problems.
