Irish Coffee Ice Cream Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 cup | 198g / 7oz | Sugar |
| 1 | Unflavored gelatin | |
| 4 cups | 948ml | Light cream - or half-and-half |
| 3 | Eggs - beaten | |
| 1/4 cup | 59ml | Instant coffee granules |
| 1/4 cup | 59ml | Whiskey - or Irish mist liqueur |
In a large saucepan combine sugar and gelatin. Stir in light cream or half-and-half. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture almost boils
and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Stir about 1 cup of the hot mixture into beaten eggs; return all to saucepan. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Do not boil. Stir in instant coffee crystals and whiskey or liqueur. Cool. Transfer the mixture to a 4-quart ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
Or, transfer the mixture into a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Cover and freeze 2 to 3 hours or until almost firm. Break frozen mixture into chunks and transfer to a chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixture until smooth but not melted. Return to pan. Cover; freeze until firm.
Makes about 1-1/2 quarts (12 to 16 servings).
NOTES : Inspiration for this indulgence came from the popular beverage that marries coffee, Irish whiskey, and cream. Irish whiskey is less pungent than Scotch whiskey and sweeter and cleaner in taste
