Espresso Chip Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Mix heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, espresso, and chocolate syrup in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until chilled.
• Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency. Stir in almonds and dark chocolate. Serve soft ice cream or transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

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.

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.
