Equipment
- Ice cream maker
- Heavy Bottom Saucepan
- Fine mesh strainer
- Whisk
- Mixing bowls
- Airtight container
- Instant-read thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Heavy Cream
- 1 Cup Whole Milk
- 3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Dark Roast Coffee Beans Crushed
- 5 Large Egg Yolks
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Pinch Salt
Instructions
- Mix the milk and sugar in the saucepan. Add the crushed coffee beans to the liquid.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat. Do not let the milk reach a boil. Stir it gently until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the pan from the hot stove. Let the beans steep for twenty minutes. This creates a very strong coffee base.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl. Slowly pour in a cup of warm milk. This tempers the eggs so they do not scramble.
- Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan. Cook on low heat while stirring constantly. The liquid should thicken like a thin gravy.
- Strain the mixture into a clean bowl. This removes the coffee beans and any bits. Add the heavy cream and vanilla now.
- Chill the liquid in the fridge for six hours. It must be very cold before churning. This step is very important for texture.
- Pour the cold mix into your ice cream maker. Follow the machine's instructions for twenty minutes. It will look like soft-serve ice cream.
- Transfer the ice cream to a cold container. Freeze it for at least four more hours. Now it is ready to be scooped.
Notes
- Use very fresh coffee beans for the best scent.
- Chill your storage container before adding the ice cream.
- Do not boil the custard or eggs will clump.
- Strain the mix twice for a very smooth result.
- Add a splash of vodka to keep it soft.
- Keep the freezer at the coldest setting possible.
- Wait for the bowl to freeze completely before starting.
