(Gelato di Caffè)
Category: Ice Cream (Gelato)
Makes 6 to 8 servings
At home, most Italians make coffee in a specially designed pot on top of the stove. It forces hot steam, not hot water, through the coffee, and that is what makes a classic espresso.
But you can make good coffee with espresso-type beans in an ordinary drip pot. Just be sure to use good-quality espresso and make it strong, especially for this ice cream. It is heavenly topped with Warm Chocolate Sauce (see Fruit, Ice Cream, and Spoon Desserts).
2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs yolks
1 cup strong brewed espresso
1 In a small saucepan, heat the milk with the sugar until small bubbles form around the edges, about 3 minutes. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
2 In a large heatproof bowl, beat the egg yolks until pale yellow. Gradually whisk in the hot milk. Pour the mixture into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until wisps of steam rise from the surface and the mixture is slightly thickened Immediately pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Stir in the brewed coffee. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
3 Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pack the ice cream into a plastic container, cover, and freeze up to 24 hours.
