Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons instant espresso powder
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 10 large egg yolks
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups fat-free milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Prepare an ice bath; set aside. Stir together espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar with the yolks; set aside.

Split the vanilla bean lengthwise with a sharp paring knife. Gently scrape out all the seeds. Place vanilla bean scrapings and pod in a medium saucepan with heavy cream, milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Bring milk mixture just to a simmer. Whisking constantly, slowly ladle about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Continue adding remaining milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.

Pour mixture back into saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your finger; stir in reserved espresso mixture. Pour through a mesh sieve into a medium bowl set in the prepared ice bath; discard vanilla bean. Stir occasionally until cooled. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.

Pour into an ice-cream maker. Process according to manufacturer’s instructions until set, but not hard.

Transfer soft ice cream to a metal or plastic container; freeze for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

                This was delicious, but I found the texture of the ice cream a little bit grainy.  It doesn't seem like 2 tablespoons of water is enough to dissolve 4 tablespoons of instant espresso powder.  Did anyone else have this problem?  I think I will try it again and perhaps run the mixture through a coffee filter before adding it to the ice cream.

                Espresso Power is simply instant espresso coffee.  Available in most larger food markets.  Hope this helps!

                Where can a person find "espresso powder"??? I have looked and can't find it at any local grocer or specialty shop? Is the internet my only recourse?
