Black coffee ice cream


How's the weather in your side of the world ? 

For sure you need something to beat the infernal heat ! 

I love eating ice cream more than making it .

But making an ice cream is such a breeze than photographing just a mere scoop .

Try doing when it's 31°C temperature - in a small flat ....

Don't worry , no French words were uttered ....

Yeah , right !  

Buying the ice cream maker was one of my best purchases , I bought mine for HK $ 100 . A pint of my favorite ice cream retails at $ 52. , see how how much I can save by making it ? Heck , even using  UHT whole milk and cream , homemade ice cream can rival the best store-bought ice cream out there ^___^

So what are you waiting for ? Dust off that ice cream maker you've purchased aeons ago and get crackin' ! 

No ice cream maker ? If you're dedicated enough , you can make it without the machine . Too lazy to do it ? At least buy the best one you can afford !


Recipe adapted from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home 

My modification in green

Makes about a quart 

2 1/2 cups whole milk  2 cups UHT whole milk 
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp cornstarch tapioca starch
1 cup evaporated milk
3 tbsp cream cheese , softened
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 cup 
3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup
3 tbsp light corn syrup 1 tablespoon golden syrup 
1/4 cup dark roast coffee beans , coarsely chopped
3/4 tablespoon instant espresso granules

* Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk with the tapioca in a small bowl to make a smooth slurry .
 
* Whisk cream cheese and salt in a medium bowl until smooth  .
 
* Fill a large bowl with ice and water .

* Combine the remaining milk , evaporated milk , cream , sugar and golden syrup in a medium saucepan , bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat and boil for 4 minutes . Remove from heat , add in the coffee and let steep for 5 minutes .

* Strain the coffee mixture through a fine sieve with a layer of cheesecloth , squeeze the cheesecloth to extract as much liquid as you can . Discard the ground coffee . Stir in the espresso powder .

* Return the mixture to the saucepan and gradually whisk in the tapioca slurry . Bring back to a boil , over medium-high heat , stirring constantly for about minute or until slightly thickens . Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the hot milk into the cream cheese until smooth . Place over an ice bath , stirring the mixture constantly until cool then chill it in the fridge for an hour , stirring from time to time .

* Pour mixture into the ice cream machine and churn until thick and creamy ,  about 40 minutes . Transfer to a container and press a sheet of plastic wrap against the surface and cover with a lid . Freeze overnight .

  2. You have been making a lot of ice-cream, just bought a pack of heavy cream, time to start making ice-cream. My kids were keep asking for matcha ice cream but I was thinking to make new flavours like this, or maybe pistachio gelato, yummy!

  8. Hi Anne,

    Just hopping around visiting from Joyce's Cook Your Books. Glad I did, it sure has been a balmy summer day here in Pennsylvania. I adore coffee ice cream but I have never splurged to buy myself an ice cream maker. Maybe I better change that one day:)

    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe...

  22. Hi Anne,

    Being cold and freezing at Melbourne, I tends to appreciate the warmer weather now. The nights and morning are extremely cold now with frost. We probably don't need ice cream maker now to make ice cream - LOL!

    You bought your ice cream maker for just HK$100! My first ice cream maker is the sunbeam kiddy kind is never that cheap and I paid about A$50 for it. It works during cooler days but didn't work at all at super hot days... so I had to buy the one with refrigeration :p

    I have not made coffee ice cream before and reckon this will be super yummy with caramel sauce :D :D :D
