Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups warm coffee
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving
Limoncello, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together the coffee, sugar, vanilla and salt until the sugar dissolves. Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Remove from the freezer and use a fork to scrape any of the ice that has formed.
