Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 6 egg yolks
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
• 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over high heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup turns clear. Pour into a double boiler along with the cream and milk. Whisk until the syrup has dissolved into the milk, then whisk in the egg yolks and instant coffee until completely incorporated.

Step 2

Set the double boiler insert over (but not touching) a pan of gently simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly until the custard has thickened and will stick to the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl and stir in the coffee grounds. Refrigerate several hours until cold.

Step 3

Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
