Recipe Description

We go on vacation to my aunt’s house each year. She lives close to an ice cream parlour which makes the best Coffee Ice Cream I have ever tasted. It is unbeatable but still I decided to try to recreate it. While my recipe is not an exact recreation, this version of their coffee ice cream is sweet, delicious and creamy. I just had to share!

Start by combining milk, sugar, salt and coffee and heat until warm. Beat eggs and make the custard by mixing half of the milk mixture with the beaten eggs before returning the mixture to the pot. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Whisk vanilla and cream into the custard and place it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

To make the Coffee Ice Cream, you will need the following ingredients:
