The coffee for this recipe

You'll need

500ml double cream
250ml whole milk
150g granulated sugar
2 lungo shots of Daily Grind (pods), or 8 tablespoons of brewed Daily Grind ground coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large egg yolks

Method

1

Heat the cream

Warm the double cream and milk in a medium saucepan over a medium heat, stirring now and then, until it starts to steam. Don't let it boil.
2

Make the base

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, Daily Grind, vanilla extract and egg yolks until well combined.
3

Temper the eggs

Slowly pour about half the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking all the time.
4

Back in the pan

Pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream and return it to a medium heat.
5

Thicken

Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the custard thickens and coats the back of the spoon. This takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
6

Chill

Take it off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
7

Churn

Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's instructions.
8

Freeze

When it reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, until firm.
