Espresso Coffee Gelato Gelato Al Caffe Recipes

Steps:

• In a double boiler over simmering water, combine 2 cups of cream (saving one cup for later) ,coffee beans and espresso.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbles form around the edge and the cream tastes strongly of coffee, at least 30 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks just until blended.
• In a thin stream, gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture.
• Place bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Remove from heat, stir in the sugar, and set the bowl inside a slightly larger bowl filled with ice; whisk until cool.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-meshed sieve and stir in the remaining 1 cup of cream.
• Freeze in ice cream maker using manufacture's instruction.

Steps:

• Soak ground coffee in boiling water for 10 minutes, then strain using coffee filter or a very fine screen.
• On medium to medium low heat 2 cups of milk, sugar and salt until steaming but boiling.
• Mix 1/2 cup milk with corn starch, no lumps.
• Pour milk & corn starch and coffee into into pan of hot milk. Stirring often. Keep on low heat and stir constantly until thicken. You want it thickened but you don't want to over cook it because the corn starch will break down and get runny.
• Once thickened, stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
• Pour into bowl and cool in refrigerator or freezer (cover with wrap to prevent skin forming on top).
• When mixture is completely cold, pour into your ice cream machine and churn per machine instructions. Add optional cookies in the last 5 minutes of churn time. I have a cuisinart and it took about 25 minutes to make.
• Put into freezer safe container with lid and store in freezer.

Steps:

• Put the ice cream in 4 bowls and take them to the table.
• Pour over each of them a portion of the still-hot coffee and serve.

Steps:

• Beat eggs lightly, whisk into milk and sugar.
• Heat mixture over medium heat stirring constantly until mixture thickens.
• Remove the resulting custard from heat, and pour into chilled bowl.
• Stir in espresso, orange zest, and coffee grounds.
• Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Freeze mixture according to ice cream maker instructions.
• Transfer to a freezer-safe container, press plastic wrap across the surface of the gelato, snap on lid, and place in freezer to hard-freeze.
• To serve, place gelato in fridge approximately 20 minutes before serving to soften.

Steps:

• Place espresso beans on a cutting board, and gently crush them using a heavy saucepan or a hammer (be careful not to pulverize the beans). In a medium saucepan, heat milk and coffee beans. Bring to a gentle boil, cover, and remove from heat. Allow to steep for 30 minutes. Strain mixture, and reserve milk; discard solids.
• Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, return milk to heat, and bring to a simmer.
• Add half the milk to egg-yolk mixture, and whisk until blended. Stir into remaining milk, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Remove from heat, and immediately stir in cream. Pass mixture through a strainer into a medium mixing bowl set in an ice bath until chilled, stirring from time to time. Stir in instant espresso, then freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Whisk yolks and sugar in large bowl to blend. Bring milk to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk hot milk into egg mixture; then whisk in espresso mixture. Return mixture to saucepan. Stir over medium heat until custard thickens and leaves path on back of spoon when finger is drawn across, about 8 minutes (do not boil). Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
• Process custard in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Freeze in covered container. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)

Steps:

• Arrange 12 small glasses on a rimmed baking sheet. Fill each with 1/4 cup gelato. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Pour 3 tablespoons espresso over each. Garnish with espresso beans. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the espresso first so it can sit while you scoop the gelato. If you don't have a moka pot or an espresso machine, run to the nearest coffee shop.
• Add the very cold gelato to a small shallow bowl or glass that's been chilled in the freezer until frosty and cold to the touch.
• Slowly pour the hot espresso in a thin stream directly over the gelato, draping the entire surface of the scoop with an even layer of coffee. You can add a splash of amaretto here if you'd like (the almond flavor would be welcome), but the best affogato is a simple affogato. Just be sure to start eating it before the gelato completely melts: In each bite, you want solid spoonfuls of the gelato thinly draped in coffee.

Steps:

• Dissolve coffee powder in the 1/2 cup hot water.
• Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl to blend.
• Bring milk to a low boil in saucepot on stove.
• Gradually whisk in milk into the yolks mixture, to temper.
• Return to saucepot and whisk in the dissolved coffee mixture.
• Stir over medium heat until custard thickens slightly and leaves path or a ribbon mark against the back of a spoon.
• This should take about 8 minutes.
• Remove from heat and refrigerate until cold, or over night covered.
• Process in ice cream maker according to manufacturers direcions.
• Transfer to a covered container and place in the freezer.
