Super easy and delicious no-churn ice cream, flavoured in the style of Vietnamese Coffee. A refreshing ice cream treat for coffee lovers!
Have you ever enjoyed a Vietnamese Iced Coffee? Its special ingredient is sweetened condensed milk, which adds both sweetness and creaminess to the iced coffee. Here, I've brought that great coffee flavour to no-churn ice cream. And the best part? You don't need an ice cream maker to make it (and even if you have one, you'll love how quick and easy this one is! :)
Cook's Notes
Be sure to use full-fat sweetened condensed milk, for the best results.
Pick any coffee that you love to flavour this delicious ice cream.

Carla says
This recipe was amazing! Shocked me when it turned out so so good with the little effort it required. One quick question- any suggestions for what to do in the first steps to make it have a bit stronger coffee flavor? This flavor was very nice but I have some strong coffee lovers in the house.
Jennifer says
So glad you enjoyed it, Carla! For a bit stronger coffee flavour, I might add a tiny bit of instant espresso or coffee to the mix. Thanks!
Vivian says
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).

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.
Jennifer says
Thanks Sarah. It was so delicious!
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:)
Jennifer says
Thanks so much, Stephanie :)

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 :)
