Ingredients You Will Need
For this recipe, you will need:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
- A pinch of salt
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Follow these simple instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, milk, sugar, instant coffee powder, and salt over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar and coffee powder have dissolved.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and frothy.
- Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the bowl with the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the yolks from cooking. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.
- Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This should take about 10 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Serve and enjoy!
