Rich and bold homemade coffee ice cream for indulgent dessert moments.

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups heavy cream
02 - 1 cup whole milk
03 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 4 large egg yolks

# Instructions:

01 - In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, and instant coffee until the sugar dissolves. Heat until steaming but not boiling.
02 - In a bowl, whisk egg yolks. Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture, whisking constantly. Gradually add the yolk mixture back into the saucepan, stirring continuously.

04 - Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
05 - Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually 20-25 minutes).

# Notes:

01 - Swirl in chocolate chips or caramel sauce for extra indulgence. Sprinkle with crushed cookies or chopped nuts before freezing.
