Coffee Ice Cream
The following coffee ice cream recipes are for you to try out both with and without an ice cream maker. The first one does NOT use an ice cream machine, while the second does.
Coffee Ice Cream #1
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 C very strong coffee liquid
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 C heavy cream, whipped stiff
1 egg white, stiffly beaten
Mix the ingredients together in the order listed above and stir well. Freeze in a refrigerator tray until mushy or about 1 short hour. Scrape bottom and sides, and beat mixture until smooth. Return to refrigerator and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
Coffee Ice Cream #2
1 cup milk
1/4 cup ground coffee
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
1/8 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. vanilla extract
3 cups half and half
Heat milk in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. When bubbles form around the edges of pan, remove from heat. Stir in coffee and half the sugar. In a slow and steady stream, whisk hot mixture into bowl with beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Return to saucepan. Add remaining sugar and salt. Stir constantly over medium high heat 3-4 minutes until mixture is thickened. Stir in vanilla and 1 cup half and half and chill in refrigerator. Strain through a very fine sieve or cheesecloth. Add remaining half and half and freeze in an ice cream maker 20-30 minutes until frozen.
