Coffee Molasses Ice Cream With Molasses Glazed Pecans Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk eggs and molasses together in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside.
• Combine cream, buttermilk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to bubble around the edges, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1/2 of the hot cream mixture very slowly into the egg-molasses mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the pan with the remaining hot cream mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook until mixture is slightly thickened and coats the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
• Strain custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap touching the top of the custard to avoid forming a skin. Cool completely in refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
• Pour custard into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

Steps:

• Combine all in a mug.
• Stir well to dissolve the molasses.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Blend cream cheese, brown sugar, and molasses in a food processor or blender until smooth. With motor running, add half-and-half, blending until combined.

• Strain coffee mixture into a pan, heat to the boiling point, then pour onto the eggs in a steady stream, beating hard all the time.
• Set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and stir until it thickens. Cool, then chill in the fridge.
• Whip the cream with the sugar. Fold it into the coffee custard and freeze in a covered container. Beat twice at hourly intervals, then let freeze until firm.
• To caramelize the pecans, preheat the oven to 350°F Spread the nuts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Put them into the oven for 10-15 minutes to toast, until they release their fragrance.
• On the top of the stove dissolve the brown sugar in 2 tablespoons water in a heavy pan, shaking it around over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup clears.
• When the syrup begins to bubble, add the toasted pecans and cook for a minute or two over medium heat until the syrup coats and clings to the nuts.
• Spread the nuts on a lightly greased baking sheet, separating them with the tip of a knife, and let cool. Store when cold in an airtight tin if they are not to be used the same day.
• Transfer the ice cream from the freezer to the fridge 30 minutes before serving. Serve with caramelized pecans.

Remove from heat. Mix in instant coffee and remaining 1 cup cream. Refrigerate coffee custard until well chilled. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
