Time 3h25m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups half-and-half
6 extra-large egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch salt
2 1/2 tablespoons ground espresso coffee beans, decaffeinated or regular
1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (recommended: Kahlua)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces (1/2 cup) chocolate-covered espresso beans, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the half-and-half until it forms bubbles around the edge of the pan and steam starts to rise. Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg yolks, sugar, and salt until mixed. Slowly add the hot half-and-half until combined. Wipe out the pan and pour the mixture back into the clean pan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 10 minutes, until it's thickened and the cream coats the back of the spoon.
  • Pour the cream through a fine-meshed sieve into a bowl. Add the ground espresso beans, coffee liqueur, and vanilla and refrigerate until completely chilled.
  • Pour the espresso cream into an ice-cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Mix in the chopped espresso beans, spoon into a container, and allow to freeze for a few hours. Soften slightly before serving.

Time 4h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso granules
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Coffee liqueur, for serving
Hot coffee, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the heavy cream and instant espresso granules to a large glass mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat together until the espresso dissolves into the cream and stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk to a second glass mixing bowl. Delicately fold the espresso whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk in 3 increments, being sure the whipped cream is evenly combined before adding more.
  • Pour half of the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the mixture with half of the chocolate chips. Use a spoon to stir and swirl the chocolate chips into the mixture. Top with the remaining mixture and chocolate chips. Once again, stir and swirl the chocolate chips so they are evenly dispersed into the ice cream mixture.
  • Cover and freeze until completely set, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  • To serve, scoop the ice cream into coffee cups or mugs. Top with coffee liqueur and coffee. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality espresso and chocolate chips. Choose a dark roast coffee with rich flavor notes, and use semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips for a balanced sweetness.
  • For a creamier texture, use heavy cream or a combination of heavy cream and milk. If using milk, make sure to use whole milk for a richer flavor.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning. This will help the ice cream freeze more evenly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions. Over-churning can result in a grainy texture.
  • Once the ice cream is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the ice cream to firm up.
  • Store the ice cream in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. For the best quality, enjoy the ice cream within 1 week.

Conclusion:

Creating homemade espresso chip ice cream is a delightful and rewarding experience. With careful attention to ingredients and technique, you can easily craft a frozen treat that rivals store-bought varieties. Whether you enjoy it on its own, pair it with other desserts, or use it as a base for floats and milkshakes, this ice cream is sure to impress.
