Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 5 Egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Hazelnuts (filberts), toasted and finely chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and instant coffee granules. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is steaming but not boiling.

Step 2

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

3. Slowly pour about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Step 4

4. Gradually whisk the egg yolk mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.

Step 5

5. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

7. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any curdled bits, ensuring a smooth texture.

Step 8

8. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled.

Step 9

9. Once chilled, pour the custard into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 10

10. About 5 minutes before the churning process is complete, add the finely chopped, toasted hazelnuts to the ice cream maker.

Step 11

11. Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 12

12. Serve scooped into bowls or cones and enjoy your Coffee Filbert Ice Cream!
