  • 2 cups (500 mL) whipping (35%) cream 
  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk 
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) instant espresso powder

  • 1 cup (250 mL) crumbled chocolate brownies 

Instructions

Strain into a clean large bowl. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until completely cold or overnight.

Tip

To turn this into a festive ice cream cake, transfer the still-soft ice cream from the ice cream maker to a springform pan lined with plastic wrap and let it set in the freezer. Decorate with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and crumbled chocolate brownies.
