Ingredients

Equipment

Method

  1. Melt the Lindt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water on low heat and leave it to melt. Alternatively, melt it in the microwave on high power for 10-second increments until melted.
    100 grams Lindt Mocha Milk Chocolate Bar
  2. Allow to cool but not set.
  3. Whisk the double cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
    300 grams Double Cream
  4. Add the full-fat cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar, melted Lindt chocolate, Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence, and vanilla. Mix on a low setting until fully combined.
    300 grams Full-Fat Philadelphia Cream Cheese, 250 grams Mascarpone, 100 grams Powdered Sugar, 2 tbsp Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence, 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  5. Once your mixture is ready, pour it into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Cover the surface with a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  6. Transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for ensuring a creamy texture in the final ice cream.
  7. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
    Note: If you prefer not to use an ice cream maker, add the chocolate chips and mix, then pour into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Cover the surface with a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap to prevent ice crystals from forming. Freeze for at least 4-5 hours or until it's firm.
  8. During the last few minutes of churning, add the optional chocolate chips or chopped chocolate allowing them to mix evenly into the ice cream.
    100 grams Dark Chocolate Chips
  9. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
  10. Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Notes

Here are some tips to help you create a delicious Mocha Coffee Ice Cream like a pro:
  1. Start with high-quality coffee and cocoa powder.
  2. Ensure your dairy (cream and milk) is cold when making the ice cream base. Cold ingredients help with the freezing process and result in a smoother texture.
  3. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks before incorporating other ingredients. This will help create a light and airy base for the ice cream, ensuring a smooth texture.
  4. Do not use half-fat or lite versions of the cream cheese and cream because the ice cream will not be creamy.
  5. Allow the ice cream dish to chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight before churning. This step improves the texture and helps the flavors meld.
  6. When melting the chocolate, use a gentle method, such as a double boiler or microwave, in 15-20-second intervals, stirring in between. Chocolate can seize if exposed to high heat.
  7. Before serving, allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make scooping easier. Dip your ice cream scoop in warm water for smoother scoops.
  8. For a no-churn option, we recommend whisking it periodically before serving as this makes the ice cream airy - this is an optional step.
  9. The nutritional calculation doesn't include Camp Chicory & Coffee Essence.
