Tips

  • Regular instant coffee works. Use 1½ tbsp for the same strength.
  • Decaf instant espresso works the same way for an evening treat.
  • For a mocha version, whisk in 1 tbsp cocoa powder with the sugar.

Why it works

Instant espresso dissolves straight into the base, so you get bold coffee flavor without adding water that would freeze into ice crystals.
