Ingredients
500 ml strong brewed coffee (cooled)
75 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Whipped cream, to serve (optional)
Directions
- In a bowl, stir sugar into hot coffee until fully dissolved. Let cool.
- Add vanilla extract if using.
- Pour coffee mixture into a shallow metal or plastic container.
- Freeze for 1 hour, then use a fork to scrape and break up ice crystals.
- Repeat scraping every 30–45 minutes for 3 hours, until light and flaky.
- Spoon into glasses and serve immediately. Add whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use decaf coffee if avoiding caffeine.
- For extra flavour, add a splash of coffee liqueur (adults only).
- Can be made a day ahead—just fluff with a fork before serving.
- Try flavoured syrups (like hazelnut or caramel) for variation.
- Serve in chilled glasses for best texture.
