Coffee Ice Cream

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 quarts heavy cream, divided
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup instant coffee crystals

Recipe

• 1 whisk together eggs, sugar, condensed milk, and salt until thick and smooth in a very large heatproof bowl.
• 2 heat 2 cups of the cream with the regular milk, bringing this to a full rolling boil.
• 3 slowly pour some of the hot mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to mix in quickly so the eggs do not scramble.
• 4 add the rest of the milk mixture slowly, still whisking fiercely, and mix to combine.
• 5 return entire mixture back to the pan and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mxiture thickens slightly and a finger drawn down the back of the spoon leaves a clear line.
• 6 strain mixture through a mesh strainer over a large bowl.
• 7 whisk in coffee crystals until dissolved.
• 8 add vanilla and the remaining cream.
• 9 chill in fridge until very cold.
• 10 freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
• 11 note: once your freezing cycle has completed on your machine, the consistency may be soft- you may wish to ripen the ice cream by storing it in an airtight container in your regular freezer until firm; this will especially be the case when using smaller capacity electric machines.
