Description

If you like coffee-flavored ice cream, this rich custard-style ice cream is for you!

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups milk
6 egg yolks
3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons finely ground coffee

Directions

1 Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over high heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup turns clear. Pour into a double boiler along with the cream and milk. Whisk until the syrup has dissolved into the milk, then whisk in the egg yolks and instant coffee until completely incorporated.
2 Set the double boiler insert over (but not touching) a pan of gently simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly until the custard has thickened and will stick to the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl and stir in the coffee grounds. Refrigerate several hours until cold.
3 Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
