Try this Vietnamese-style coffee ice cream, then check out our our Baileys ice cream, spiced coffee kulfi, iced coffee, iced latte and iced caramel coffee.

In Vietnam, coffee is served in many ways, from cà phê den (very strong black coffee), to cà phê đá (refreshing iced black coffee) and cà phê sữa đá (iced coffee served with condensed milk to add a sweet, creamy edge). We've taken inspiration from the latter to create a summery dessert with a caffeine kick.

Learn about Vietnamese coffee culture with our expert barista Celeste Wong's guide, including traditional rituals, how to order it and the perfect recipe for at-home brewing.
