How to Make Coffee Almond Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy cream, 4 large egg yolks, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup freshly brewed strong espresso. Whisk until well combined.
  2. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture reaches 170°F (77°C) on a candy thermometer. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. This ensures a super smooth texture.
  4. Stir in ½ cup slivered almonds (optional).
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Pour the chilled custard into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes).
  8. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up completely before serving.
