Coffee & Cookie Ice Cream

Everybody needs a super simple go-to dessert and I’m pretty sure I just found mine! This oh-so-easy, Tiramisu-inspired Coffee & Cookie Ice Cream dessert comes together so fast it can hardly even be called a recipe, and yet the the flavors make it an impressive showstopper. Because the only thing better than a delicious dessert that only takes minutes to throw together is one that tastes like you slaved all day.

For this version I used vanilla ice-cream, hazelnut flavored coffee and 1 package Stella D’oro Anisette Toast Cookies. I’m sure you could substitute your own favorite flavors with just as much success.

Here is what you need:

1 Tablespoon sugar
1 cup flavored coffee
1 package Stella D’oro Anisette Toast Cookies
1 half gallon vanilla ice cream
Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Step 1: Dissolve the sugar in the coffee and then chill.

Step 2: Dip the cookies into the coffee, one at a time and arrange them into the bottom of the glass pan.

Step 3: Scoop the ice cream into a bowl and mix until softened.

Step 4: Spread over cookies to form a smooth surface. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, about 2-3 hours or overnight.

Step 5: Let soften slightly before scooping into bowls add chocolate shavings and serve.

  • Sounds absolutely divine! I must try it! Thanks for the recipe:)

  • Hi Ruth,

    This looks very delicious and it seems easy to make. I love coffee and my favorite ice cream flavor is cookies and cream although I'm very intrigued as to how the combination of both tastes. Do you lightly dip the cookies or do you kind of "soak" them? Is dipping them enough to get that coffee flavor?

    Thanks for the recipe!

    • Yes, You just dip each side of the cookie into the coffee; enough so it soaks up coffee but won't fall apart. Would love to hear your feedback. :)

      • Thank you for the clarification :)

        We will make it some time this summer! SoCal heat is only about to get really bad so this is much needed.
