Ingredients

1 ¼ cup thickened cream
⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp instant espresso powder
2 tbsp espresso liqueur

Freezing time 6 hours or overnight

Instructions

Whisk all the ingredients together until soft peaks form, and you have a gorgeous, caffè-latte-coloured airy mixture, and then fill an airtight container and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

Note

• I have never tried using regular instant coffee granules in place of the instant espresso powder stipulated, though I dare say if you boosted quantities and dissolved the granules in a little boiling water first, you could make it work for you.
