Hi Bold Bakers! The only thing better than a cup of coffee is a bowl of this delicious, creamy coffee gelato—especially on a hot day! If you’re a coffee addict, then you have to give this recipe a go! Already have an account? My homemade coffee gelato is creamy, slightly bittersweet, and is certainly not lacking in the coffee flavor. I get that intense, delicious flavoring by using instant coffee granules. That bitterness is rounded out with sugar, whole milk, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract. If you want to get a little crazy, make this an adults-only Irish coffee gelato by adding 2 to 4 tablespoons of Irish whiskey! The whiskey and the coffee will give you a double kick!!
What Is Coffee Gelato?
Even though gelato and ice cream share the same ingredients, they are very different desserts! Gelato has a lower fat percentage, making it a little softer and the flavor even more intense than ice cream. This gelato recipe is flavored with instant coffee granules, but if coffee-flavored desserts aren’t your thing, try one of my many different gelato recipes!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Coffee Gelato
Always temper the yolks by adding the hot milk slowly to the yolks instead of pouring the yolks directly into the hot milk to prevent curdling. Make sure your gelato base is thoroughly chilled before churning in your ice cream maker. You can make the base and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before churning. Make this a mocha gelato: whisk in a ½ cup (4oz/115g) of homemade ganache into the warm base before chilling. For an even more intense, bittersweet coffee flavor, use instant espresso powder instead. For an Irish Coffee Gelato, stir in 2-4 tablespoons Irish whiskey into the warm base before chilling. The alcohol will cause the gelato to be a bit softer.
How Do I Store Coffee Gelato?
You can store homemade coffee gelato in your freezer, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week.
