Ingredients
For the Ice Cream Base:
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (adjust based on coffee strength preference)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks
Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Shavings:
1/2 cup semisweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped or use a chocolate bar to shave
Instructions
Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, instant coffee granules, and salt.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar and coffee are dissolved, and the mixture is warm (but not boiling). Remove from heat.
Whisk the Egg Yolks:
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened.
Temper the Egg Yolks:
Slowly pour a small amount of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking continuously. This helps to temper the yolks and prevents them from scrambling.
Gradually add the tempered egg yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.
