Mocha Ice Cream Recipes

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, flour, coffee and salt. Gradually add milk and eggs; stir until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon and reaches 160°, about 15 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled. Stir in the remaining in the remaining ingredients. Fill ice cream freezer cylinder two-thirds full; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Refrigerate remaining mixture until ready to freeze. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least 2 sides. Butter the foil.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and salt in a medium bowl. Melt the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs, then add the flour mixture and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs adhering, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack, then place in the freezer to firm up, about 30 minutes.
• Use the foil overhang to help lift the brownie out of the pan and carefully flip it over onto a cutting board, making sure that it does not bend or crack. Peel the foil away from the bottom, then discard the foil and line the baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Using a warm knife, trim the rough edges off of the brownie so it is even (the brownie should be 16-by-12-inches). Cut the brownie in half crosswise, resulting in 2 pieces that are 12-by-8-inches. Lay one of the brownie pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, top-side facing down. Working quickly, use a large ice cream scoop to spread the ice cream evenly across the brownie, getting close to the edge. Use an offset or rubber spatula to help smooth out the sides and top of the ice cream. Place the other brownie piece on top and gently press to create one large ice cream sandwich. Fold the plastic wrap around the assembled ice cream sandwich to help hold its shape, then return it to the freezer to harden, at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Use a warm knife to cut twenty-four ice cream sandwiches. Roll the edges of each sandwich into the chopped espresso beans until they stick to all of the exposed ice cream edges. Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and enjoy.

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, heat the cream and instant coffee granules over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until granules have dissolved. Remove from heat. Allow to cool thoroughly.
• Combine the heavy cream mixture with the milk, milk powder, superfine sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour into the ice cream machine and mix per manufacturer's instructions, adding the chocolate chips about halfway through mixing.

Steps:

• Microwave chocolate at HIGH 1 ½ minutes or until melted, stirring twice; stir in brewed coffee. Set chocolate mixture aside.
• Beat yolks and ¼ cup sugar at high speed with an electric mixer until thick and pale. Put aside.
• Bring whipping cream, half-and-half, remaining ½ cup sugar, and coffee granules to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and coffee dissolve.
• With mixer at low speed, gradually pour hot cream mixture into yolk mixture; return to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 6 - 8 minutes or until mixture thickens and coats a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
• Stir in chocolate mixture, cover and chill 2 hours.
• Transfer the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until frozen, 15-30 minutes, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Transfer to plastic container and place in the freezer for an hour before serving.

Steps:

• Special equipment: 9 by 5-inch (1 1/2 pound) metal loaf pan
• Overlap 2 (18-inch long) sheets of plastic wrap at their centers, forming a cross. Use the plastic wrap to line the long and short sides of the loaf pan, letting the excess plastic wrap hang over the sides. Empty the softened vanilla ice cream into the loaf pan and smooth into a level layer using the back of a metal spoon. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the chopped espresso beans and return to the freezer until firm, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer and smooth a layer of coffee ice cream on top of the vanilla ice cream and espresso beans. Sprinkle with an additional one third of the espresso beans and return to the freezer until firm, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer and smooth a layer of chocolate ice cream over the layer of coffee ice cream and espresso beans. Fold over the excess plastic wrap to enclose the terrine and return to the freezer until very firm, at least 1 hour. To serve, remove the terrine from the freezer and unmold onto a chilled platter, peeling away and discarding the plastic wrap. Cut into slices using a knife dipped into warm water and wiped clean after each slice. Serve on cold plates garnished with the remaining chocolate-covered espresso beans.

Steps:

• Add the heavy cream and instant espresso granules to a large glass mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat together until the espresso dissolves into the cream and stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk to a second glass mixing bowl. Delicately fold the espresso whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk in 3 increments, being sure the whipped cream is evenly combined before adding more.
• Pour half of the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the mixture with half of the chocolate chips. Use a spoon to stir and swirl the chocolate chips into the mixture. Top with the remaining mixture and chocolate chips. Once again, stir and swirl the chocolate chips so they are evenly dispersed into the ice cream mixture.
• Cover and freeze until completely set, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
• To serve, scoop the ice cream into coffee cups or mugs. Top with coffee liqueur and coffee. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the sugar.
• In a pan, bring the coffee to a boil.
• Pour in the milk, and let it start to boil.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer when it starts to froth up.
• Mix in white chocolate until it's fully dissolved and integrated.
• Pour the hot mixture over the egg/sugar mix and whisk them together.
• Mix in the cream.
• Use your own ice-cream maker and follow directions, or do what I do and just put it in a Tupperware and then stash in the freezer until ready.

Steps:

• Whisk together the first 4 ingredients in a large heavy saucepan.
• Gradually whisk in milk and whipping cream.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 10-12 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly; remove from heat.
• Whisk egg yolk until slightly thickened.
• Gradually whisk about 1 cup hot cream mixture into yolk.
• Add yolk mixture to remaining cream mixture, whisking constantly.
• Whisk in vanilla bean paste.
• Cool 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Place plastic wrap directly on cream mixture, and chill 8-24 hours.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°.
• Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring once halfway through.
• Cool completely (about 30 minutes).
• Pour chilled cream mixture into freezer container of a 1 1/2 quart electric ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Before transferring ice cream to an airtight container for further freezing, stir in pecans and chocolate.

Steps:

• Pour 50ml of the milk into a small pan and add the chocolate buttons. Mix well until melted, then leave to cool.
• Half-fill a large, tall glass with ice, then pour in the cooled chocolate milk and the remaining 100ml milk and stir to combine.
• Top up with more ice, then slowly pour in the espresso. Finish with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon - or both, if you like.
