Homemade Coffee Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Chips

We've been having lots of fun with the ice cream maker attachment for our Kitchenaid stand mixer.  We've mixed up a few different recipes but one family favorite was the homemade coffee ice cream with dark chocolate chips.  It was SO good and creamy!  


I just love how easy it is to make homemade ice cream!  

Ingredients:

1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
4 packets of single serving sized Folgers instant decaf coffee
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
1 cup dark chocolate morsels 

In a small bowl we combined the milk, sugar and instant coffee. 



Then we added in the cocoa stirring until the powder was blended into the milk.  Then we slowly added in the heavy cream and vanilla.


We poured the mixture into our pre-frozen ice cream maker and turned the mixer on low for 20 minutes.  We added in the chocolate chips during the last two minutes of mixing.

When it was all done mixing we had a nice soft serve coffee ice cream.  We poured it into a plastic container and put a lid on it then popped it in the freezer for two hours to firm up.  Though I honestly could have eaten it just as it was!  It was soooo gooood!



After dinner we scooped up some ice cream into our bowls and enjoyed this cool, refreshing, flavorful treat.




Have you ever tried making homemade ice cream?

    Oh my stars! That's my favorite flavor. I treat myself to ice cream once a month at my favorite ice cream parlor. If I had a machine, I'd use it waaaaay too often!

      The only good thing about having a machine and 5 people is that we don't even each get a full serving before it's gone... which I actually kind of like or else I'd eat waaay to much of it.

      Wow! I can't believe you've never tried coffee ice cream; it's one of my favorites (as long as there are chunks of something chocoately or like Oreo cookie pieces in it).

    Sounds good! I make homemade ice cream quite often, and it's been far too long since I've made coffee ice cream. My husband doesn't drink coffee (has never had a single sip!), but he loves coffee ice cream. #MMBH

      Neither my husband nor I drink coffee either and I had to go searching for instant coffee at the store to make this... and yeah, we both love coffee ice cream too.

      Homemade ice cream is quite creamy. I love any sort of crunchy chocolate bits and pieces in my ice cream.

      Thank you! We're having a great day; in fact my oldest is making up some of this coffee ice cream and adding Oreo cookies in place of the chips.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

10 Most Popular Posts of All Time

Each year near the end of December/ beginning of January I share the top 10 posts of the year but this year, in particular, I have noticed some much older posts that are still bringing in lots of pageviews and thought it would be fun to look back and see a top 10 list of all time.  I started my blog in June of 2012 and while so many of my first posts were long blocky, chunky rambles without any real photos of us and our family I just can't bring myself to delete any of them as I really do enjoy looking back and seeing how my blog has change and grown over time. Not surprisingly all my top 10 posts are from more recent years.  I love to look at what is popular and try to figure out WHY each post is so popular. Most of the time I can't but I love to speculate anyway.  10. Our 2022 Disney/Universal Trip Day 1 & 2 has almost 2000 views. Who doesn't love Disney and the Magic Kingdom? 😊 9. My Would You rather; Fall Edition had well over 3,000 pageview. I do, however, thi...
