Coffee Ice Cream

Coffee ice cream does contain real caffeine — typically 40–60mg per cup — so it counts toward your daily limit. A scoop or two is usually fine, but if you're already having coffee or tea, keep it in mind.

Track caffeine; typically 40–80mg per cup serving
The caffeine content of coffee ice cream varies significantly by brand and recipe. Some premium brands can have as much as 80mg per serving. If you're close to your 300mg/day limit from other sources, it's worth checking the label or choosing a different dessert. It's not off-limits — just worth tracking like any other caffeinated food.
