Servings 8
Author Lisa Fain

Ingredients

Ingredients for the ice cream:

  • 2 cups heavy cream, well chilled
  • 1 cup whole milk, well chilled
  • 3/4 cup strong coffee (can use decaffeinated), well chilled
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Ingredients for the hot fudge sauce:

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk (not sweetened!)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar

Instructions

  • For the cafe de olla ice cream, mix the heavy cream, milk, coffee, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Freeze and churn according to your ice-cream maker’s instructions.
  • To make the hot fudge, while stirring, melt the butter and chocolate on low in a double boiler. (If you don't have a double boiler, keep a good eye on it so it doesn't burn.)
  • Once melted, stir in the sugar and the evaporated milk. While stirring, cook until the sugar has melted and the sauce is smooth. Serve warm over ice cream.
  • The hot fudge will keep in the refrigerator for a week, and as it cools it gets more solid and fudgier—it’s delicious to eat cold with a spoon as well!
