Creamy homemade chocolate coffee ice cream recipe from @bakedbyrachel

We typically don’t go to the movies too much since it can be so costly, especially for a family, but last weekend we made a special trip to see Inside Out. I’m probably in the minority that wasn’t totally over the moon in love with it, but it was cute and still fun. I think I just expected there to be more to it. Still cute and full of meaning though.

The last time I went to the movies at this particular theater was when Julie came to visit… last Fall. See… I don’t go to the movies much. When we were there, they were undergoing a major renovation. The renovations actually interrupted our visit, setting off fire alarms. But, at least it wasn’t in the middle of the movie… it definitely could have been worse! It was nice to finally see all of the changes in person.

Finally a local theater that offers reserved seating! That’s honestly probably my favorite part… next to the super comfy reclining leather seats. Such a nice feature! I’m already starting to think about our next visit, partly because of the features mentioned and partly because it’s Summer vacation but also… the Minions movie looks super cute. Have you seen it yet? I have high hopes for it being as good or better than the Despicable Me movies.

And, because it’s raging hot outside lately, you definitely need a scoop or two of this creamy chocolate coffee ice cream. Call it mocha, call if chocolate coffee or just plain delicious – I don’t care what you call it, as long as you enjoy a scoop!

This is by far my favorite chocolatey ice cream to date – both homemade and store bought! It’s so smooth and packed with flavor… even the kiddos loved it!

I highly recommend pairing this with a cone and maybe some sprinkles for fun. Because, why not?!

This super creamy homemade chocolate coffee ice cream is an absolute must make this summer!
