Hi Jennifer, can I use 33% whipping cream instead of 35%?
Jennifer says
Hi Vivian and yes, 33% should work just fine.
Barbara says
This is fantastic. It is so light, airy, and delicious! The vanilla bean paste makes it over the top. This would be scrumptious as a dollop on coffee (without freezing) or affogato-style. I can’t wait for dessert tonight!
Jennifer says
So glad you enjoyed it, Barbara and yes! Would be fabulous on coffee :)
Tina says
can you use an ice cream maker or does it need to be whipped in a stand mixer?
Jennifer says
I suppose you could, Tina, but honestly, if you have an ice cream maker, I would use a more conventional ice cream base (a custard base with eggs).

Alexandra @ Confessions of a Bright-Eyed Baker says
Vietnamese iced coffee is the best – turning it into an ice cream must only make it better! And no churn at that – perfect!
Jennifer says
Thanks so much, Alexandra :)
Stephanie @ The Glamorous Gourmet says
I’m on a total ice cream bender lately with temperatures soaring into the 100’s here in South Florida on a daily basis! Also gotta love an ice cream that doesn’t require churning too – thanks for sharing the deliciousness:)

This sounds so good – I adore coffee flavored anything, and ice cream is at the top of that list! I do have an ice cream machine, but no-churn is always so much more fun! I need to experiment with the condensed milk, I bet that helps keep it creamy.
Jennifer says
Thanks Sue and I’m the same. While I have an ice cream machine, sometimes quick and easy is very appealing :)
