to simply infuse whole beans in your cream mixture overnight, then
strain them out before you freeze it. Problems solved; perfect result.

The problem is, I believe, that soaking whole beans will not release
the quantitative extraction of grinds, the very reason we grind coffee
beans for any use...although I guess soaking them overnight would at
least exhaust the potential of that process. I could be wrong, but I
think two scoops worth of espresso has a greater extraction than two
scoops of beans marinated overnight. Have you tried both espresso and
beans and seen better results with the beans? If so, I'll try it,
perhaps.

Two 'scoops'? What's that?

For each litre of cream, use 3 dl of beans and, believe me, it will
'release the quantitative extraction' in as concentrated a way as anyone
could wish, without either the grit of grounds or the dilution of brewed
beverage.

cheers,

I just pull the shot right onto a scoop of ice cream. Its awesome.

Put the vanilla ice cream and Expresso in the blender. What do you get?
Yummy! Add some Kalua if you want.
