Ingredients:

For the Ice Cream Base:

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder or strong instant coffee
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Directions:

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, instant espresso powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
3. Slowly add the heavy cream and whole milk to the dry ingredients. Whisk continuously to dissolve the sugar and coffee granules completely.
