Coffee ice cream

Ingredients

To make coffee ice cream you’ll need

• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-step preparation

Heat the milk, cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the instant coffee and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually pour the hot coffee mixture into the yolks while whisking constantly, so the yolks don’t curdle.

Pour the mixture back into the pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon.

Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturer’s instructions. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and stir it every half hour until smooth and creamy.

Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, sprinkled with a little ground coffee.

Coffee ice cream is a delicious, creamy dessert or snack. It’s a creative way to combine the rich, smooth flavor of coffee with the creamy texture of ice cream, and a great way to satisfy a sweet craving at any time of day.
