One of my favorite, if not my favorite, kind of ice cream is coffee ice cream. This recipe follows the same procedure as the other ice cream methods. Coffee beans are steeped in hot milk and cream and the rest is the same. I used my favorite espresso bean coffee for this recipe and it came out perfect. Not to strong, but with plenty of coffee flavor. Next time I might add the same “chips” from the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (p 320).
Tasty coffee ice cream. Keller relies on the typical cream, milk, egg yolk, sugar ice cream recipe, but his had more eggs yolks than most recipe. Results were delicious. There was also a robust, but not over powering, coffee flavor, achieved from soaking crushed coffee beans in the milk and cream.
Also, FYI, the key to creamy ice cream is letting it cool completely (for example, overnight) before putting it in the ice cream maker. If you are in the market for an ice cream maker, Cook's Illustrated just named the Cuisinart Automatic Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker ($49.95) as their best buy (beating out a more expensive Cuisinart model).
