William Sonoma! :)
Mocha ice cream is always one of my favs! Delicious!
An indulgent coffee treat in the form of ice cream…doesn’t get much more decadent and delicious than that!
Oh my! I have to try this . It looks so light, creamy and fluffy.
I have never seen espresso powder before! What a great looking ice cream!!
My hubby would be all over this – any coffee flavored desserts are his fave. I should make this for him!
Great recipe!
I tell you it’s definitely a good thing that I don’t own an ice cream maker. I would never stop making this one.
Mmmmmmmmm, this is hands down my fav ice cream!
Oh, powdered sugar for the sugar sub, that’s a brilliant idea!
Shannon, using powdered sugar allows the sugar to dissolve quickly with no need to heat it up first. Less chilling time is necessary that way. It doesn’t work for all ice cream recipes, but definitely for this one :)
Looks great! I really need to get an ice cream maker! So many great combos!!
Love this flavor combo!
I adore coffee flavored ice creams, even though I don’t really drink coffee otherwise.
Yummy! I love that we can cool down and caffeinate at the same time
That’s the best way to cool down! :D
Thank you Constance. Have a Great Sunday!
