We are head over heels in love with coffee ice cream, and we aren’t afraid to admit it!
We are just enamored by the sweet, complex and rich decadence that is coffee ice cream, and you'll certainly never catch us complaining about the little caffeine boost it gives us.
In honor of National Coffee Ice Cream Day, here are some bomb coffee desserts you can make on this extra-special Tasty Tuesday:
1. Homemade Coffee Ice Cream
Start with the classics, of course! This is our favorite recipe for rich coffee ice cream, if you are so inclined to DIY it. Don't have an ice cream maker? Use this method instead. It will work perfectly with the creamy custard base.
2. Boozy Irish Coffee Milkshake
Start your day like a champ with this gently boozy breakfast. Want it boozier? Add a shot of vodka or Irish whisky.
3. Irish Coffee Milkshake with Whiskey Caramel
Much the same idea with a heavy coffee and caramel focus. The only booze in this one comes from the caramel, so feel free to leave the whiskey out if you want. Alternately, add a shot of it to your shake if you want to booze it up.
4. Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake
Tiramisu fans will go bonkers for this tasty ice cream cake spin. Add a little rum extract to your soaked pound cake if you want to go the extra tiramisu mile.
5. Vegan Dessert Nachos With Coffee Ice Cream
Because you must always say yes to dessert nachos. If you want to make this recipe in a flash, go ahead and use your favorite store-bought coffee ice cream.
6. Loaded Ice Cream Cake
The best part of this super loaded magic ice cream cake is that you can top it with any of your favorite candies or whatever treats you have lying around.
7. Chocolate-dipped Glazed Doughnuts Stuffed With Coffee Ice Cream
If you've never thought to turn doughnuts into chocolate-dipped ice cream sandwiches, you are severely missing out.
8. Coffee Ice Cream and Mexican Chocolate Sundaes with Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Crisps
Naturally, coffee ice cream needs cinnamon and chocolate to live its best life.
9. Chocolate Espresso Dip
The perfect mate to your favorite coffee ice cream.
10. Irish Coffee Sundaes with Caramel Whiskey Sauce
Coffee ice cream is good, but it's even better topped with a coffee nut crisp and sexy caramel. Do it.
