Super rich and creamy. As good as the semifreddo served in the finest Italian restaurants. Used a silicon 12 hole muffin pan, but filled on 10 of the holes. Froze covered in plastic wrap. Put each semifreddo on its own plate, used microwave for 30 seconds on 30% power. Then dusted each with cocoa powder. Perfect for one elegant potion.

Like many of you I love this concept. Coffee ice cream is one of my favorite foods, this gets me pretty close. Thanks to all your great ideas I’ve experimented too. I’m trying lose weight so calorie counts are part of my daily routine. I love this so much I had to make adjustments to make it allowable and enjoyable. I included 8 oz of cream cheese instead of 7, used espresso (I need to add more espresso next time) and I put it into a 24 piece silicone mold, that has metal around the top for stronger structure. Once frozen, just push one up from the bottom to enjoy a 62 cal/2.3 net carb treat I lovingly call Coffee Bombs. :-) My calc could be off since the original says 1.7 net carbs for 3.5 oz. Thanks for everyone’s tips.

Great recipe! I substituted expresso powder for the coffee and added about 1/3 package of Knox gelatin to the hot coffee mixture and let it bloom. Cooled to room temperature before adding to whipping cream. This made it semi-soft after freezing. Amazing recipe!

Has anyone omitted the sweetener? I don't like the chemical-y taste.

  Use Lakanto's Erythritol/Monkfruit Golden granulated sweetener. It tastes JUST LIKE SUGAR with no aftertaste!

  So, for clarity, is it delete the sweeten and add the salt, or keep the sweetener and add salt? Confused 🤷🏼‍♀️

  Yes, many times in cooking and baking and canning and making jams and jellie; added salt is necessary. It tones down the sweetness and releases the flavor.

  You can add a pinch of salt to offset the aftertaste of sweetners. It really works.

Can you omit the coffee and make just vanilla flavoured?

I love this recipe but it is impossible to cut from the freezer. I think it needs something to make it a bit creamier. Any suggestions?

  @myrilie In the mould in the freezer, I think. Then soften for cutting by dipping the mould briefly into hot water. Turn out the mould onto a serving plate for cutting portions. *Mileage may vary.

  The sweetener makes the difference. Use 50% stevia/erythritol sweetener, and 50% allulose or BochaSweet. I didn't believe it would work until I tried it in ice cream.

I used espresso instead of instant coffee (didn’t add more as others suggested because espresso is already stronger than instant), Madagascar bourbon vanilla extract and added a teaspoon of Ghiradelli 100% dark chocolate. So tasty!

This was a delight! U deff need to ad more coffee if u want it stronger in that flavour. I chopped some candied pecans and wallnuts and added them to the botttom of the pan. The combo was a hit with everyone.

Used hand mixer. Beat everything in one bowl until fluffy (cream was beaten in AFTER all other ingredients were beaten). Added more coffee (2-3 tsp). Added semi-melted milk & white chocolate chips before a final beating. Spooned into 20 silicone molds. Froze solid in under 3 hours. Popped out of molds and let 2 thaw a bit before devouring.

  @eddie The sugar-free chocolate products that are out now are really quite good. Or, use powdered cocoa sprinkled on top (mixed with sweetener and/or cinnamon, if so desired.) Yum. I was unsuccessful with regular Keto so my doc suggested a different macro ratio combined with tracking cals. -39 lbs and counting! 👍🏽😊

  Update: doesn't need the chocolate chips. Next batch will follow recipe adding a touch more instant coffee crystals. Makes different but tasty fat bombs.

  Yes but I would let it come to room temp and use a mixer to whip it so the ingredients combine more easily
