Espresso Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Mix sugar, butter, cornstarch, and espresso powder together in a saucepan until blended. Stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove mixture from heat; stir in vanilla extract and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in condensed milk and coffee-flavored liqueur.
• Beat whipping cream using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form; fold into cooled milk mixture.
• Pour mixture 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:

• 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:

• In a large measuring cup, mix together the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, espresso and vanilla extract. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour.
• Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, turn on your ice cream machine and pour in the cream mixture. Churn until the mixture looks slushy like soft serve, 12 to 15 minutes. Place the canister in the freezer until the ice cream is firm enough to scoop, for several hours.
• Serve with whipped cream and chocolate covered espresso beans.

Steps:

• Using an electric whisk, beat the cream, salt, and vanilla together in a large bowl until the mixture resembles plain yogurt.
• Rub the toasted hazelnuts together in a clean tea towel to remove as much of their skins as possible. Discard the papery skins and roughly chop the nuts. Set aside a tablespoon or so to sprinkle over the top, then add most of the nuts, the condensed milk, and cooled coffee to the cream mix and beat together until it thickens to the consistency of yogurt.
• Pour the mixture into a 900 g (2 lb.) loaf pan, sprinkle over the reserved hazelnuts, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the freezer for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Remove the ice cream from the freezer 5 minutes before serving. The ice cream will keep, covered in the freezer, for three months.

Steps:

• Combine the cream, espresso, coffee granules, and vanilla in a large pot. Set a large strainer over the pot and set aside.
• Bring the milk and 1/2 cup of the sugar to a boil in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once at a boil, reduce heat to low.
• Whisk the egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large bowl. Temper the yolks by slowly drizzling 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the bowl while whisking vigorously. Slowly pour the tempered eggs into the pot of hot milk mixture and continue to cook, mixing constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken, coats the back of a metal spoon, and reaches 170°F on an instant-read thermometer (note that the mixture can easily overcook and curdle, so be sure not to bring the mixture to a boil). Strain the mixture into the pot with the reserved cream, espresso, coffee, granules, and vanilla and stir to incorporate.
• Refrigerate until fully cool before following your ice-cream maker's manufacturer's suggestions for freezing.

Steps:

• Prepare an ice-water bath. Combine milk, cream, 1/2 cup sugar, the espresso, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, whisk together egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl.
• Gradually whisk half the hot milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture. Pour egg-yolk mixture into saucepan, and whisk. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Strain through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl set in ice-water bath. Let cool, stirring occasionally. Press plastic wrap on surface of custard to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate 2 hours.
• Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container, and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
