Cool Coffee Chocolate Toffee Ice Cream

The smooth feel of rich cream across the tongue. The warm flavor of coffe...more

Ingredients

1 1/2 quarts

1 1/2 cups whole milk

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups whole coffee beans (regular or decaf, choose your poison)

5 egg yolks

1 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp powdered espresso

4 oz. Heath Bar toffee bits, chilled and chopped

4 oz. dark chocolate, chilled and chopped

Steps

Heat the milk, 1/2 cup of the cream, salt, sugar and whole beans in medium saucepan over medium
heat, stirring frequently, until hot, but not boiling. Cover and set aside to steep on a counter for one
hour.

Pour the remaining 1 cup of cream into a metal bowl set into a larger bowl filled with ice. Place a strainer
over the cream and set aside.

Warm the coffee beans and milk mixture again over medium heat until just before simmering.
In a separate bowl whisk the yolks until thick and creamy. Pour the hot bean and milk mixture into the
eggs very slowly, whisking constantly. Doing this slowly tempers the eggs and prevents them from
becoming scrambled.

Scrape mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, scraping the
bottom of the pan. Cook until the custard is thickened enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon; run
your finger down the middle and if it doesn’t run, the custard is done. Approximately 10 minutes.

Pour through the sieve set aside earlier, pressing on the beans to extract as much flavor as possible. Stir
into the cream, add the vanilla and the espresso.

Stir over the ice to cool the mixture quickly.

Cover and place in the fridge for at least 6-24 hours (overnight preferred).

Churn in your ice cream maker according to manufacturers instructions. (Kitchen Aid ice cream
attachment works flawlessly.)

Quickly fold in toffee and chocolate after the ice cream is churned, then place in container(s) and store in
freezer. Set ice cream for 24 hours for best consistency.
