frangelico + coffee no-churn ice cream (and ice cream sandwiches)

frangelico-coffee no-churn ice cream | the vanilla bean blog

A while back I made a delicious concoction involving Frangelico and coffee. Soon after I was contacted by the nice folks at Frangelico to create a recipe, which I said yes to immediately, because I love baking with their liqueur. Prior to my frozen drink, I had actually only used Frangelico in baking and cooking, and worked at a coffeehouse that made a delicious Bundt cake involving the hazelnut liqueur, dried cherries, and espresso.

I thought of re-creating that, but instead decided since it is almost summer, ice cream might be a much better idea. And, I made the right choice.

No-Churn Coffee and Frangelico Ice Cream Recipe

This ice cream is a no-churn variety, which means you don’t need an ice cream maker (yeah!). It’s slightly adapted from everyday food.

It is smooth and creamy, with a light coffee and hazelnut flavor balanced perfectly. I also have a cacao nib cookie recipe in case you want to go the ice cream sandwich route, which is also a very tasty option.

I used cold press coffee in my ice cream, but if you don’t have that on hand, strong, cold coffee will work just fine. Use any roast that you enjoy. If you own a Pullman pan, this works nicely to freeze the ice cream in (plus it has a lid!) but otherwise a 9 x 5 loaf pan works great.

If you aren’t going to make this into ice cream sandwiches, adding cacao nibs to the base is a good idea (1/3  cup, added into the frangelico-coffee mixture). Or, you could sprinkle them on top with a drizzle of even more coffee. Also, I just discovered this homemade magic shell recipe (dark chocolate and coconut oil! That’s it!) and it’s mighty fine on top.

And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. – F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Cacao Nib Ice Cream Sandwiches

I used my chocolate chip cookie recipe for these sandwiches. I omitted the chocolate and added 1/3 cup cacao nibs. I also used a melon baller to scoop the dough (roughly about 1 teaspoon a cookie), which created much smaller cookies. You could, of course, make them any size you’d like.

To assemble the sandwiches: I followed The Kitchn’s ice cream sandwich advice. Perfect tips and tricks.

    No churn! Yes!! Oh man, everything about this is amazing. The only thing better than chocolate chip cookies is when there is ice cream between two of them.

    I feel that Frangelico is what my life has been missing all these years. I can’t believe I’ve never used it to cook with – these are inspired!

    These are adorable- and I love it, an ice cream recipe that the common, non-ice-cream-maker-owning folk can use!

    how dreamy! I love how small they are. I mean, I’d need like six, but that just makes it more fun 😉 I need to try the no churn, so easy and one less thing to clean. I’m into it.

    I can’t get enough new ice cream flavors—and this is truly no churn—I thought for sure you were going to use a food processor at some point!
