Ice cream may seem like an indulgence, but with careful planning and moderation it can actually be both tasty and nutritious. While it is true that ice cream tends to be high in calories, sugar, carbohydrates and fat content; it also contains protein and calcium for unexpected nutrition benefits compared to coffee! Plus, caffeine in ice cream tends to be much lower than what would be found in strong coffee drinks!

There is an expansive range of coffee-flavored ice cream available on the market, from mild and milky to bold and vibrant. Some varieties feature chocolate or cookie chunk mix-ins while others focus on their signature coffee taste; intensity can range anywhere from subtle sweet to almost bitter.

While most coffee ice cream is dairy based, some brands are increasingly turning to low-fat milk varieties in order to limit fat intake in their products. Although this still results in rich and creamy textures, their resultant icy bite may differ slightly than its full-fat counterparts.

Turkey Hill offers a non-dairy, reduced-fat coffee ice cream that features Colombian coffee beans for an enjoyable flavor profile and smooth and creamy texture upon scooping. Although lower in fat than some options available today, its 16 grams of sugar per serving makes this an indulgence worth experiencing!

Haagen-Dazs offers another popular low-fat coffee ice cream brand – creamy but still high in calories and sugar, it is also made using both milk and soy protein.

Make homemade, healthy ice cream using this simple recipe! For an enjoyable homemade experience, use this custard base made with whole milk (but you could also use 2% or almond milk), pure vanilla extract and fine sea salt as part of this tasty treat. While this is easy to do, the custard needs to chill for at least 4 hours prior to churning.

Coffee ice cream can be enjoyed as an individual dish or used in other recipes such as coffee milkshakes and malts. For an increased coffee kick, add more instant or coffee grounds; to make a mocha version add cocoa powder. When making single serve bowls it’s easiest to pour the ice cream directly into a freezer-safe plastic container or glass baking dish and freeze; this keeps it from melting quickly when serving and enjoying; alternatively place individual bowls in the freezer before enjoying!
