Description
A rich and creamy homemade coffee ice cream with a bold coffee flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup finely ground coffee beans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 5 large egg yolks
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, ground coffee, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly to temper them.
- Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove coffee grounds.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste.
