Drizzle some hot fudge on it and wait for your mouth to water. |
By David Lebovitz (link is to Simply Recipes blog that made it)
Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups whole coffee beans (decaf unless you want the caffeine in your ice cream)
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 5 large egg yolks
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon finely ground coffee (press grinds through a fine mesh sieve)
Heat the milk, sugar, whole coffee beans, salt, and 1/2 cup of the cream in a medium saucepan until it is quite warm and steamy, but not boiling. Once the mixture is warm, cover, remove from the heat, and let steep at room temperature for 1 hour.
Let coffee beans steep for one hour |
Pour the remaining 1 cup of cream into a medium size metal bowl, set on ice over a larger bowl. Set a mesh strainer on top of the bowls. Set aside.
Reheat the milk and coffee mixture, on medium heat, until again hot and steamy (not boiling!). In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together. Slowly pour the heated milk and coffee mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly so that the egg yolks are tempered by the warm milk, but not cooked by it. Scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
Pour the custard through the strainer and stir it into the cream. Press on the coffee beans in the strainer to extract as much of the coffee flavor as possible. Then discard the beans. Mix in the vanilla and finely ground coffee, and stir until cool.
The final mixture ready to cool in the fridge |
Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Yummm.. |
Makes one quart.

Hi Christine! I know I haven't been around much lately (busy with lots of house construction these days), but I popped into blogland for a little peek and just had to stop by to say that aside from this ice cream sounding so yummy, I just love your newest summer dress down below. You are totally adorable in it! Enjoy your summer! :) Paulette
ReplyDeleteI love coffee ice cream but avoid it because of the caffeine issues. Never thought to use decaf beans and make my own. Duh! Thanks for what appears to be a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteJust put this on my "to make" list. Sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteOf the flavors I've been experimenting with so far - this one is my favorite. Close runner up is vanilla with Bailey's and chocolate shavings, but even better is when it's paired with this coffee ice cream. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, this sounds and looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this @ {nifty thrifty sunday} last week as well!
xoxo,
