Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
6 egg yolks
Chocolate curls, for garnish

Directions

Combine the cream, milk, sugar, and coffee in a medium, heavy saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat.

Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks. Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Remove from the refrigerator and pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream is made, transfer to an airtight container. Cover tightly and freeze until ready to serve. Garnish with chocolate curls.

Question for Paula in Norwich :)
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Paula, Did you mean that you add the Coffee Brandy before you place the mixutre into the ice cream maker, or did you mean... into the freezer to freeze? Also, did you use a specific type of Brandy? Thank you :) I made it and felt that it was lacking a bit of something, I am going to try again!Read more

Try adding coffee brandy.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Karen, you'd probably love this recipe if you had used the correct ingredients. You are supposed to use instant coffee, which... dissolves completely during cooking; not coffee grounds. That said, this recipe was very easy to make. The time it takes to chill the mixture in the refrigerator will depend on the temp your fridge is set at, and for the average energy-conscious household, will probably take 4+ hours. Your best bet would be to prepare it before bed and let it chill overnight. If it's not cold enough, it won't freeze well, and your canister will thaw quicker. When tasting the mixture just before freezing it, I thought the flavor was a little on the weak side, so I added proabably 2 or 3 tablespoons of coffee brandy. My sister practically licked the dishes clean after I was done freezing it.Read more

Good flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I goofed when making this by overwhipping the mixture but it still came out very nice after freezing. The flavor is... excellent. I added some chopped, toasted almonds and a ripple of homemade hot fudge sauce to make my own mocha almond fudge. I can't wait to try this again with better technique.Read more

Great Ice Cream
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this Ice Cream! I made it for my husbands birthday and it was a big hit! I did what was suggested before and... refrigerated it over night before freezing it. I also added 1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. I really like the Starbucks Java Chip ice cream and I thought this was just as good! I will definatly make it again!Read more
