Description
A rich and creamy homemade coffee ice cream with a bold coffee flavor, perfect for coffee lovers.
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 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 large egg yolks
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, ground coffee, and salt. Heat over medium heat until steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly to temper them.
- Pour the tempered yolk mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove the coffee grounds. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or overnight until thoroughly chilled.
- Churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
