Coffee Ice Cream

Coffee Ice Cream recipe image
This luxurious coffee ice cream is the perfect way to end a meal, offering a sophisticated balance of rich creaminess and bold coffee flavor. By roasting the beans before infusing them into the milk and cream, you unlock a deeper, more complex aroma that simple instant coffee cannot match. The base is a classic custard, enriched with egg yolks for a velvety smooth texture that coats the palate beautifully. It&# 226;ÂÂs not overly sweet, allowing the natural bitterness of the coffee to shine through, balanced by a hint of vanilla. Ideal for serving alongside warm desserts like brownies or pie, or simply enjoyed on its own during a cozy evening. This homemade treat feels indulgent yet achievable, bringing café-quality results to your kitchen.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Coffee beans
  • 2 cup Milk
  • 2 cup Heavy cream (1 Pint)
  • 1 cup Sugar (less 2 tbs.)
  • 1 pn Salt
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract or flavor
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350ðF (177ðC).
  2. 2
    Spread coffee beans in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Remove beans from oven, let cool completely, then grind them coarsely in a spice grinder or mortar.
  4. 4
    In a heavy saucepan, combine the ground coffee beans, milk, and heavy cream.
  5. 5
    Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture just begins to simmer.
  6. 6
    Cover the saucepan, remove from heat, and let steep for 20 minutes to infuse the coffee flavor.
  7. 7
    Add 1/2 cup of the sugar and the salt to the cream mixture, stirring until dissolved.
  8. 8
    In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar (2 tablespoons) until the mixture is thick and pale.
  9. 9
    Strain the coffee-infused cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, pressing on the grounds to extract all liquid, then discard the grounds.
  10. 10
    Gradually pour half of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  11. 11
    Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream, stirring to combine.
  12. 12
    Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 170-175ðF). Do not boil.
  13. 13
    Immediately place the saucepan in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, stirring occasionally.
  14. 14
    Once cool, stir in the vanilla extract and cover the custard. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
  15. 15
    Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
