Description
Creamy, bold, and loaded with sweet swirls, this caramel macchiato ice cream is a dreamy frozen take on the classic coffeehouse favorite. It’s a rich blend of espresso, vanilla, and golden caramel in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup strong brewed espresso or coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, espresso, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the coffee mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour half the mixture into a loaf pan, drizzle with half the caramel, and swirl lightly with a knife.
- Repeat with remaining ice cream base and caramel for layered swirls.
- Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Scoop and serve with extra caramel drizzle if desired.
Notes
- Use cold espresso or coffee to avoid melting the mixture.
- Let ice cream sit at room temp for a few minutes before scooping for smoother texture.
- Try salted caramel for a flavor twist.
- Top with chocolate shavings or espresso beans for extra flair.
