Directions
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together vigorously until the mixture is pale, thick, and well-blended.
-
In a saucepan, combine the evaporated milk and instant coffee powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until small bubbles appear around the edges (scalding point). Do not boil.
-
Slowly pour about 2 cups of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
-
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot milk, stirring to combine.
-
Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of the spoon.
-
Remove the custard from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the custard for at least 4 hours, or until completely chilled.
-
Stir in the coffee liqueur (about 1/2 cup) until evenly distributed.
-
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker.
-
Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
-
Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving to firm up.
