Iced Coffee Cream Custard Recipes

Steps:

• Place a roasting pan 3/4 full of hot water in an oven heated to 300 degrees. Brush four 6-ounce custard cups with melted butter. Set aside. Combine the cream, milk, and espresso in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring almost to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Whisk together egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Add a little of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, and whisk well. Add the remaining milk mixture, and whisk again to combine well. Strain mixture through a sieve. Pour into the custard cups, and place in water bath in the oven, making sure that the water comes 3/4 of the way up sides of cups. Bake until the custard is set, about 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and water bath. Cool for about 20 minutes. Loosen custards with a knife. Invert onto serving dishes; top with chocolate. Alternatively, refrigerate, and turn out when needed.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Pour milk into a 1 qt saucepan. Stir coffee into the milk & slowly bring the mixture to the boiling point.
• Meanwhile, put the eggs & egg yolks in a lrg mixing bowl & beat together thoroughly w/a wire whisk. Then beat in the cream & sugar.
• When the milk mixture reaches the boiling point, slowly pour it into the egg mixture, beating vigorously w/the whisk. Add the vanilla extract & beat again.
• Pour half of the coffee cream into a 10-in pie dish or 6-cup souffle dish. Set the dish in a shallow pan filled w/boiling water to reach halfway up the side of the dish.
• Working quickly, transfer the dish to the preheated oven & pour the rest of the coffee cream into the dish.
• Reduce the oven temp to 325°F (160°C) & bake the coffee cream for 1 1/4 hours or till a knife plunged into the center comes out clean & dry.
• Remove the dish from the oven & allow to cool to room temperature. Cover & refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours to overnite.
• NOTES: It was strongly emphasized that this dessert must be served icy cold. No other serving suggestions were included, but how could it be wrong to serve in goblets w/a sprinkle of choc shavings? NOT!

Steps:

• Combine the heavy cream, milk, vanilla bean and seeds, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture almost reaches a gentle simmer, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, set a fine-mesh sieve in a medium bowl (preferably metal), then set the bowl in a large bowl of ice water; set aside.
• Whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and salt in a separate medium bowl. Ladle one-quarter of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture and whisk well. Whisk in another one-quarter of the cream mixture, then pour the cream-egg mixture into the saucepan with the remaining hot cream.
• Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon in a figure-eight, until slightly thickened (a thermometer should register 180˚ F), 6 to 8 minutes. If at any point the mixture starts to simmer, remove from the heat, continue stirring, reduce the heat to medium low, then return to the heat (you do not want the custard to thicken too quickly or the eggs to scramble).
• Immediately strain the custard through the sieve into the bowl set over the ice water. Return the vanilla bean to the custard and let the custard cool, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Remove the vanilla bean, then transfer the custard to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions until the consistency of soft serve. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Cook's Note: Can use skim milk, 2-percent milk, whole milk, sugar, artificial sweeteners, syrups...adapt to your liking!
• In a large container, mix the ground coffee with 8 quarts water. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for eight hours or overnight.
• Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a pitcher or other container. Pour the coffee/water mixture through the strainer, allowing all the liquid to run through. Discard the grounds. Place the coffee liquid in the fridge and allow to cool. Use as needed.
• To make iced coffee, pack a glass full of ice cubes. Fill the glass two-thirds full with the coffee liquid. Add a healthy splash of half-and-half. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (can use plain sugar instead) and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the half-and-half and/or sweetened condensed milk as needed.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup whipping cream, milk, and espresso mixture in heavy large saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into cream mixture; add bean. Bring mixture to boil. Using tongs, remove bean; discard. Whisk sugar and egg yolks in large bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Gradually pour hot cream mixture over egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to saucepan and simmer over low heat until mixture is thick enough to coat spoon, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat. Whisk in espresso beans and cinnamon. Cover and chill 4 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Beat remaining 1 cup whipping cream in medium bowl to soft peaks. Strain custard through fine sieve into another medium bowl. Place coffee ice cream in large bowl. Fold in 1/3 of custard to soften ice cream. Fold in 1/3 of whipped cream. Fold in remaining custard and whipped cream in 2 more additions each (do not overmix). Cover with plastic wrap and chill until cold, about 1 hour. Transfer to freezer; freeze mixture until very cold and thick, about 15 minutes. Transfer to pitcher and pour into chilled wineglasses at table.

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt. Gradually add milk until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat., In a small bowl, whisk a small amount of hot mixture into eggs; return all to pan, whisking constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes. Remove from heat immediately., Quickly transfer to a large bowl; place bowl in a pan of ice water. Stir gently and occasionally for 2 minutes. Press plastic wrap onto surface of custard. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight., Stir cream and vanilla into custard. Fill cylinder of ice cream freezer two-thirds full; freeze according to manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate remaining mixture until ready to freeze.) Transfer ice cream to freezer containers, allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze 2-4 hours or until firm. Repeat with remaining ice cream mixture.

Steps:

• In a small pot, simmer heavy cream, milk, sugar and salt until sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. In a separate bowl, whisk yolks. Stirring constantly, slowly whisk about a third of the hot cream into the yolks, then whisk the yolk mixture back into the pot with the cream. Return pot to medium-low heat and gently cook until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 170 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool mixture to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturers' instructions. Serve directly from the machine for soft serve, or store in freezer until needed.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the cream and sugar until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture is frothy.
• Add the milk, vanilla and coffee.
• Whisk until blended.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Prepare the ice cream in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.

Steps:

• Place 2 cups of ice cubes into a 2-quart pitcher; slowly pour coffee over ice and stir until ice is melted. Stir sugar into coffee and mix thoroughly until sugar is completely dissolved. Add milk, stirring just until combined. Stir in remaining 2 cups ice, adding more as needed; refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Stir before serving. Pour over ice in tall glasses or into recycled serving-size glass bottles or insulated tumblers.
