My husband and I LOVE espresso and I've wanted to make him this ice cream for a long time but the chocolate covered beans have always deterred me. I guess I could always leave them out, but they're so pretty.

I tried making my own version, using a vanilla base but it took so much instant espresso and the flavor never really came through since one you freeze it the espresso or coffee loses it's flavor.

I really need to just give in and try this recipe!

This photo of the ice cream that got away! I cannot believe that I was "this" close to tasting these delicious looking expresso ice cream :o) I can still remember going to the store with you and picking out all of the ingredients :o)

I am not going to dwell on what I missed, but I can tell you that I am truly looking forward to getting down with your beautiful creation! The shots of the ice cream scoops are ravishingly lovely, and I love the lone expresso bean on the last photo. Well done, sweetheart!

Thanks, everyone for the nice comments!

Laura - I don't know how I do it haha. Well, the only thing I do is that as soon as I scoop the ice cream, I place the dish back in the freezer for a few minutes. I set up the photo area, take the dish out, and start shooting. For this post, I kept one dish in the freezer while the other one was in the photo area. I don't really do anything else special. You can see in the first shot on here, that the ice cream started melting in the glass.

I love a good coffee ice cream, even more than I love a good cup of coffee. And that's saying a lot! ;)

I'm sure your Mom is going to love your version of it, too.
