Hi Jennifer, can I use 33% whipping cream instead of 35%?
Hi Vivian and yes, 33% should work just fine.
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!
So glad you enjoyed it, Barbara and yes! Would be fabulous on coffee :)
can you use an ice cream maker or does it need to be whipped in a stand mixer?
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).
Oh Jennifer, this ice cream might be the best thing I’ve seen all week! Love it!
Thanks so much, Julia :)
PERFECT. THIS IS PERFECT. Vietnamese Iced Coffee is so dreamy, and then you went and made it a no-churn ice cream?! This is my kind of recipe.
Thanks Sarah. It was so delicious!
Vietnamese iced coffee is the best – turning it into an ice cream must only make it better! And no churn at that – perfect!
Thanks so much, Alexandra :)
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:)
Thanks so much, Stephanie :)
This is a beautiful, creamy and wonderful summer treat Jennifer! I adore coffee flavored ice cream and I love that you used sweetened condensed milk – that stuff is amazing!
Thanks Tricia and yes, I love absolutely anything with sweetened condensed milk, too :)
This looks awesome. What a fun and easy way to make ice cream!

Vietnamese iced coffee is such a special treat! I love making it on the weekends. This ice cream would be the perfect way to switch things up. I looooove it!
Thanks Katrina :)
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.
Thanks Sue and I’m the same. While I have an ice cream machine, sometimes quick and easy is very appealing :)
