Homemade Coffee Ice Cream

Use this simple recipe to make your own coffee ice cream that tastes rich and creamy. This is perfect for coffee lovers who miss the taste of old-fashioned ice cream.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup instant coffee granules
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally

Add instant coffee granules to the mixture and continue stirring until fully dissolved

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks

Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the eggs

Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes

Do not let it boil

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any cooked egg bits

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming

Refrigerate the mixture until completely chilled, preferably overnight

Once chilled, churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturers instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency

Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving
