A satisfying guilt-free treat

Last Updated January 31, 2018

We’ve been fans of nice cream since our Vitamix came into our lives.

It’s easy, it’s healthy, and it tastes just like the real thing!

We love experimenting with flavors like coconut ice cream and pumpkin ice cream.

But there’s something so decadent and satisfying about a creamy scoop of coffee ice cream.

Throw some coffee in the freezer, you’re going to want a dessert pick-me-up!

Don't let extra coffee go to waste

I’m notorious for making a pot of coffee and then drinking a half a cup. So instead of dumping it all down the drain, I’ve been freezing it in ice cube trays.

Why? Because I love iced coffee, and regular ice cubes water it down.

But now we’ve got a freezer full of coffee cubes, and I just can’t use em fast enough.

So why not use the same method as I did with the Coco Lime Sorbet and use those cubes to make ice cream!

We always have frozen bananas on hand for our No Yoke Shakes, so I figured those 2 ingredients would do the trick.

It was absolutely delicious! But it also had the creamiest texture we’ve ever gotten from a nice cream before. It was silky smooth and reminded me of authentic gelato.

So next time you’ve got a little extra coffee, put it in the freezer and whip up this decadent treat.

Look at how creamy this turned out…
