Introduction: Awaken your taste buds with the bold flavor of homemade coffee ice cream. This creamy treat combines the richness of coffee with the indulgence of ice cream, creating a delightful dessert that's perfect for coffee lovers. Let's dive into the recipe and brew up a batch of deliciousness!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup ground coffee (use your favorite coffee beans)
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and ground coffee.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the mixture until it just starts to steam, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Once the mixture is steaming, remove it from the heat and let it steep for 20-30 minutes to infuse the coffee flavor. Stir occasionally.
- After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the ground coffee. Discard the coffee grounds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.
- Slowly pour a small amount of the warm coffee-infused cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
- Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.
- Place the saucepan back over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Do not let it boil.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits. Let it cool slightly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until thoroughly chilled.
- Once chilled, pour the coffee mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the churned coffee ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
- Scoop the bold and creamy coffee ice cream into bowls or cones, and enjoy the perfect pick-me-up dessert!
Conclusion:
With its bold coffee flavor and creamy texture, homemade coffee ice cream is a true delight for coffee aficionados. Whether enjoyed solo or paired with your favorite dessert, this homemade treat is sure to satisfy your cravings for something rich and indulgent.
