Description
A frozen dessert combining the flavors of classic tiramisu.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a medium bowl until pale and thick.
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until steaming, but not boiling.
- Slowly temper the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 170°F). Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur, if using. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and chill completely in the refrigerator, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- Churn the chilled custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder.
Notes
- If you skip the coffee liqueur, add 1 teaspoon of rum extract for a similar flavor profile.
- For a smoother texture, age the custard base overnight before churning.
