• Mixing Bowls
• Whisk
• Measuring Cups and Spoons
• Freezer-Safe Container

Cooking Time

Total estimated time: 4 hours (including freezing time)

Recipe: Creamy and Rich Coffee Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 500ml (2 cups) heavy cream
• 250ml (1 cup) whole milk
• 150g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
• 60ml (1/4 cup) freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
• 5 egg yolks
• 5g (1 tsp) vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Coffee Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to steam, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Temper the Egg Yolks

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Gradually add a small amount of the hot cream mixture to the yolks while whisking constantly. This will temper the yolks to prevent curdling. Slowly add the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream mixture, whisking continuously.

Step 3: Cook the Custard

Return the saucepan to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure it does not boil. Add the pinch of salt and remove from heat.

Step 4: Add Coffee and Flavorings

Stir in the cooled espresso (or strong coffee) and vanilla extract. Mix well, ensuring the coffee flavor is well integrated into the custard base.

Step 5: Chill the Mixture

Pour the mixture into a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours.

Step 6: Churn the Ice Cream

Once chilled, pour the custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will typically take 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Step 7: Freeze

Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm before serving.

Conclusion

Congratulations on crafting a sumptuous batch of Coffee Ice Cream! This delicious dessert offers a sophisticated blend of bold coffee notes and creamy textures, creating an irresistible treat. Whether enjoyed alone or paired with another dessert, this ice cream elevates any occasion.
