Coffee ice cream recipe

- – x1 pint of our delicious iced coffee milkshake

Method:
- 1. Combine the iced coffee milkshake, sugar and salt in a saucepan and cook over a medium heat. Stir the mixture until it starts to steam, then reduce the heat to a low temperature.
- 2. Beat the eggs in a bowl and pour half the milk mixture into the yolks. Keep whisking until it’s all mixed together.
- 3. Return your new eggy, milky combo back to the saucepan and increase the heat to medium.
- 4. Stir for roughly five minutes, until the mixture has thickened. You’re looking for a custard-like texture here.
- 5. Strain the mixture into a bowl through a sieve. Cover it before placing it in the fridge.
- 6. Once it’s nice and cold, whisk the cream and vanilla extract into your mixture. Once it’s smooth, throw it into an ice cream maker and follow the machine’s instructions.
This recipe will keep for up to a fortnight in your freezer, providing you transfer to a freezable container after finishing the sixth step (not to be confused with the Bruce Willis flick).
To reduce food waste, we recommend adjusting the recipe depending on how many servings you wish to make. Although, if you’ve got ice cream in your freezer for over two weeks, we bow down to your belly’s superior restraint!
