Ree Drummond loves anything with coffee in it
This recipe for coffee dulce de leche ice cream is close to Drummond’s heart because she is such a big fan of coffee. She admits coffee is the first thing she reaches for when she wakes up each morning. She once told Imbibe magazine she loves anything that has coffee in it. “I love cheese, so anything with drippy, melty cheese is front and center,” says Drummond. “And I love anything with coffee in it—tiramisu, coffee ice cream, pot du crème—basically, nothing that’s good for you.”
The Accidental Country Girl prefers to have an iced coffee when she gets out of bed. She’s so dependent on caffeine that she jokingly refers to her cups of Joe as “poison.”
“I wake up every morning with iced coffee, so that’s kind of my poison,” says Drummond. “I love hot coffee later in the day, though I definitely over-cream it—I always joke when I order my coffee that I’d like just a little bit of coffee with my cream.”

Ree Drummond says coffee goes with just about anything
Drummond adds that coffee is great because it goes with almost anything. She tells the publication she likes to add coffee to her chocolate recipes. “Typically, I’ll add coffee to my chocolate recipes, whether its brownies or this really easy pot du crème I make in the blender where coffee is the main ingredient—I just love the depth of flavor it adds,” she tells Imbibe. “I really can’t think of too many things I wouldn’t put coffee with.”
