Enjoy the rich and creamy goodness of coffee ice cream that you made yourself. This recipe makes a rich frozen treat that coffee lovers will love by combining the strong flavor of instant coffee with the smoothness of heavy cream and milk.

Ingredients: 2 cups heavy cream. 1 cup whole milk. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup instant coffee granules. 4 large egg yolks. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Instructions: In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and instant coffee granules. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot but not boiling and the sugar and coffee granules are dissolved. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour about 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, preferably overnight. Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm. Serve and enjoy!
