How to Make Instant Triple Coffee Ice Cream

Place a large metal bowl in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to thoroughly chill.
In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 ounce of coffee liqueur and 2 tablespoons of freshly brewed espresso.
Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir until any coffee granules are completely dissolved.
Add 1 ½ cups of high-quality vanilla ice cream to the chilled bowl.
Pour the liqueur mixture over the ice cream.
Add 1 teaspoon of finely ground coffee to the bowl.
Gently fold all ingredients together until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze for at least 3 hours, or until the ice cream is firm. For best results, freeze overnight.
