Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

Coffee:<\/strong> I used instant coffee in this recipe. Both caffeinated and decaffeinated will work well here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut milk:<\/strong> Full-fat coconut milk is the best here. You can use cashew milk too. It's just as creamy and rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut cream:<\/strong> For making the ice cream extra creamy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> Regular white granulated sugar works well. You can substitute with coconut sugar or cane sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla bean and Cinnamon stick: <\/strong>For a beautiful, well-rounded flavor profile. Feel free to leave out the cinnamon if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Candied Walnuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a pan, heat sugar and walnuts till the sugar melts entirely. The trick is to keep stirring the sugar on low heat; otherwise, it will burn.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the nuts are coated in the melted sugar, sprinkle some sea salt and transfer them to a parchment paper-lined tray. Wait for them to cool, chop them up, and then add to the ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you leave some candied walnuts to garnish the coffee ice cream while serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use this method to make any candied nuts, and not just for ice cream. Store the candied nuts in a jar, and they make for delicious munchies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
