Ingredients

  • 2 eggs 
  • ½ cup (125 mL) granulated sugar 
  • 2 cups (500 mL) whipping (35%) cream 
  • 1 cup (250 mL) milk 
  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) instant espresso powder

Instructions

Strain into a clean large bowl. Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until completely cold or overnight.

Tip

To turn this into a festive ice cream cake, transfer the still-soft ice cream from the ice cream maker to a springform pan lined with plastic wrap and let it set in the freezer. Decorate with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, and crumbled chocolate brownies.
