vietnamese coffee ice cream
One of my all-time favorite food memories is the first time I tried Vietnamese food living in Chicago. I had pho tái, shrimp summer rolls, and then at the end of the meal, my very first Vietnamese coffee. I saw another patron being served with the traditional single-serve drip and after much oohing and ahhing, got one for myself.
The flavor was potent, so absolutely sweet but bold and intoxicating, I was hooked. It quickly became one of my favorite treats (and still is), so when I saw this ice cream recipe, I about died.
Not only is it the easiest ice cream I’ve ever made (ok, second easiest), but it really is one of the tastiest. Using the naturally thick texture of sweetened condensed milk, no custard or tempering is necessary (yessss!) and the flavor is just beyond wonderful. If you’ve ever been intimidated by your ice cream machine or the process, this is the dish for you.
