How To Make coffee ice cream
-
Step 1Add the granulated sugar, milk, cream, and salt to a large saucepan. Attach a clipable thermometer if you have one. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot. Do not boil the mixture

Step 2Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Add a ladle of the hot mixture to the beaten egg yolks while whisking. Repeat this several times until the egg yolks are warmed. Slowly drizzle the warmed egg yolks into the milk mixture while whisking.

Step 3Cook over medium-low heat, scraping the corners and bottom of the pan. Stir until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches between 170-180°F. Whisk in the vanilla extract and the instant coffee.
