As we’ve mentioned, Gran gave us a great base recipe for making ice cream, and she also loved coffee-flavored desserts. Aunt Ky picked up this recipe from her, through Gigi, then made a few changes. The main difference is that Aunt Ky uses half & half instead of whole milk. You can adjust the amount of coffee added to this recipe to fit your crew’s tastes.
