Ingredients
  

  • 1⅔ cups cold heavy cream 400 ml
  • ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk 200 g

Notes

  • 400 ml heavy cream equals 1⅔ US cups.
  • The hot water only dissolves the instant coffee and does not count as a main ingredient.
  • Use instant coffee granules, not ground coffee.
  • Keep the cream cold until ready to whip.
  • Freeze in an airtight container to reduce ice crystals.
  • Nutrition is estimated without optional chocolate chips or caramel sauce.
