Mocha Fudge Ice Cream

Mocha Fudge Ice Cream

The summer days are here and the hot weather is upon us. How about cooling down with nice dish of Mocha Fudge Ice Cream. I have this recipe that I use for my ice cream maker(which is a Cuisinart) to make ice cream but I had to improvise and use what I had to adjust my ingredients. The result were outstanding. I always say be creative and well I did on this one. Its low sugar, low in fat and practically dairy free. Today I am going to share my recipe with you. This Mocha fudge ice cream is sure to please your cravings with a bold coffee flavor, trailing with a touch of chocolate essence. It's cool and satisfying, a frozen coffee delight! When you serve this you can top it with a drizzle of caramel, chocolate and toasted almonds.  Use whatever topping you like and be creative.

In a large bowl place water, pastry pride, cocoa powder, stevia and instant coffee. With a hand beater mix ingredients together. Have your your ice cream machine ready and turned on. Make the ice cream according to your machine instructions. My machine takes about 25 minutes to make ice cream in a soft form. When it's done I take a storage container, drizzle hot fudge on the bottom then I put a quarter of the ice cream over it and repeat the steps and I end with hot fudge on top. This gives the ice cream layers, as you scoop it out of the container you can see it. This ice cream reminds me of ice milk because I'm not using whole milk ingredients but it still hits the spot! I freeze it overnight for a real firm ice cream. Before I serve the ice cream I let it set out for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to scoop and serve.
I mentioned serving suggestions above but let me add this you can serve this between two fresh baked soft cookies as well.
Just sit down, have a bowl of this delicious Mocha Fudge Ice Cream and relax.  This makes about 10-12 1/2 cup servings so why not invite some friends over too!

Don't forget Father's Day is coming up and the kids can make dad their favorite ice cream!

Remember, have fun and make it yours.
