New article on Coffee Ice Cream

Aug. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- During the summer, some people will avoid drinking hot drinks as it makes them too hot and flustered. This is not good for coffee lovers who have to drink caffeine each day. However, it is not the end of the world; you can get your hands on coffee flavoured ice cream, this way you can have your fix of coffee and be cooled down at the same time.  To make coffee ice cream you will need;

4 table spoons of instant espresso powder
2 table spoons of hot water
1 cup of sugar
10 large egg yolks
1 vanilla bean
2 cups of heavy ice cream
2 cups of fat-free milk
¼ teaspoon of salt.


Prepare an ice bath for later. Stir together espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl. In a medium bowl whisk together ½ cup sugar with the yolks.

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and gently scrape out all the seeds. Place vanilla bean scraps and pod in a saucepan with heavy cream, milk and remaining sugar and salt. Bring milk mixture to simmer and add to egg yolk mixture.

Cook all mixture in a saucepan, stiring constantly until thick. The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your finger. Pour through a sieve into a bowl in the ice bath. Stir occasionally until cooled. Chill in fridge for at least an hour.

Pour into an ice cream maker until set.
