Ingredients for Homemade Coffee Ice Cream
To make a creamy, delicious batch of coffee ice cream, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder (for a bold flavor)
- 4 large egg yolks (for creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Making coffee ice cream from scratch is easier than you might think. With just a few simple steps, you can enjoy this creamy dessert any time you like.
Step 1: Make the Coffee Base
Start by combining the heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture begins to steam. Avoid boiling it—just get it hot enough for the next step.
Next, dissolve the instant coffee or espresso powder in a small amount of hot water (around 2 tablespoons) and add it to the cream mixture. Stir until the coffee has fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Set this coffee mixture aside.
Step 2: Temper the Egg Yolks
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. To avoid scrambling the eggs, you need to temper them. Slowly pour about a cup of the hot coffee mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. This gradually warms up the yolks, preventing them from curdling.
Once the egg yolks have been tempered, pour them back into the saucepan with the rest of the coffee mixture. Return the saucepan to medium-low heat, stirring constantly. You’ll want to cook the custard until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
