- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (hot)
- Pinch of granulated sugar (optional)

- 2–3 scoops vanilla bean ice cream

- Whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
- Brew Your Best:: First things first, get that coffee brewing. You want it strong and hot, but not scalding. I usually go for a French press or a strong drip. The aroma fills the kitchen, and that’s when you know something good is about to happen. Honestly, a good brew sets the stage for the best Coffee With Ice Cream. If you’re like me, you might get distracted by the smell and forget to grab the ice cream, leading to a frantic dash to the freezer!
- Chill Out, Glass:: While your coffee is doing its thing, grab a sturdy glass or mug and pop it in the freezer for a few minutes. This step is crucial, trust me! I’ve skipped this before, thinking it wouldn’t matter, and my ice cream melted into a sad puddle almost instantly. A chilled glass helps keep your Coffee With Ice Cream icy and delightful for longer. It’s a little extra effort, but it pays off.
- Scoop the Dream:: Now for the fun part: generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream go into your chilled glass. Don’t be shy here! I usually do two big scoops, maybe three if I’m feeling extra indulgent. This is where the magic of Coffee With Ice Cream truly begins, the anticipation of that creamy, melting goodness. Sometimes I get a little overzealous and make a mess, but hey, that’s what kitchen towels are for!
- Pour with Purpose:: Carefully, and I mean *carefully*, pour the hot coffee over the ice cream. You’ll see it start to melt and swirl, creating these beautiful, creamy rivulets. That’s exactly what you want! The contrast of hot and cold, bitter and sweet, is what makes Coffee With Ice Cream so special. Don’t just dump it in, or you’ll get a splashy disaster – learned that one the hard way, too.
- Sweeten (If You Dare):: If you’re adding sugar, stir it in gently now. Remember, the ice cream brings a lot of sweetness, so taste before you add too much. I usually skip this step because I love the robust coffee flavor against the natural sweetness of the ice cream. But if you have a serious sweet tooth, go for it! Make your Coffee With Ice Cream exactly how you love it.
- Garnish & Enjoy:: Top your magnificent creation with a swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, and that tiny pinch of sea salt. Take a moment to admire your handiwork. The rich aroma, the beautiful layers – it’s a feast for the senses. Now, grab a spoon and dive into your perfect Coffee With Ice Cream. Pure bliss, I tell ya!
