delectable downfall chunky custard mocha ice cream
It is serious ice cream making time here in Florida! Every year I serve a different flavor on July 4th. This year I decided on a mocha for my nephew. He loves coffee ice cream, we all love chocolate and I always add a touch of cinnamon to my coffee and my brownies. This custard packs an espresso punch, while the chocolate and brownie add a chunky mocha twist. If you do not have time or desire to make the ice cream, use a good quality store bought coffee/espresso ice cream and add cinnamon and Kahlua w/ low speed mixer; then hand stir in your brownie pieces and chocolate chips. Freeze.

How To Make delectable downfall chunky custard mocha ice cream
-
1In large saucepan, combine cream, milk, espresso powder, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
-
2Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until creamy. Mixture will be a soft yellow. Gradually whisk in half of your hot cream/milk mixture.
-
3Transfer the yolk/cream/milk mixture (custard) to the remaining hot cream/milk in saucepan. Return the saucepan to a low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. It will register 170-170 degrees F on a thermometer.
-
4Remove pan from heat and transfer hot custard to a bowl. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate at least 3 hours, or overnight.
-
5Once custard has been refrigerated, freeze it in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instruction.
-
6Stir chocolate, brownie pieces, and Kahlua (if using) into the soft ice cream and serve immediately.
-
7COOKS TIPS: The Kahlua will keep your custard at a softer serve consistency in freezer.
-
8For firmer ice cream consistency, place soft ice cream in a covered container. Place in freezer for 2-3 hours until desired hardnesss reached.
-
9Freezing longer than this will make ice cream hard. You will then need to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes prior to serving.
-
10COOKS NOTE: liqueur not only enhances flavor of the ice cream, it also helps texture. Most homemade ice cream will become rock hard when frozen more than 6 hours. The alcohol in the liqueur acts like an antifreeze!
