Yield Makes 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons hot water
1 cup sugar
10 large egg yolks
1 vanilla bean
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups fat-free milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Stir together espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar with the yolks; set aside.
  • Split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp paring knife. Gently scrape out all the seeds. Place vanilla bean scrapings and pod in a medium saucepan with heavy cream, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Bring milk mixture just to a simmer. Whisking constantly, slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Continue adding remaining milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
  • Pour mixture back into saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your finger; stir in reserved espresso mixture. Pour through a mesh sieve into a medium bowl set in the prepared ice bath; discard vanilla bean. Stir occasionally until cooled. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
  • Pour into an ice-cream maker. Process according to manufacturer's instructions until set, but not hard.
  • Transfer soft ice cream to a metal or plastic container; freeze for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

This ice cream was a disaster! It was too icy, too sweet, and had a weird aftertaste. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This ice cream was a bit icy for my taste. I think I'll try churning it for less time next time.

I had a hard time finding heavy cream at my local grocery store. I ended up using half-and-half instead, and the ice cream still turned out great.

This ice cream is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I've tried this recipe with different types of coffee, and it always turns out great. I especially like it with dark roast coffee.

This ice cream is the perfect balance of sweet and bitter. It's not too sweet, and the coffee flavor is just right.

I love that this recipe uses real coffee, not instant coffee. It gives the ice cream a much richer flavor.
