Equipment
- pan
- Mixing bowls
- Dutch oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly brewed coffee strong
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp coffee extract
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tbsp salt
- 1/4 tbsp chocolate chips optional for garnish
- Whipped cream optional for garnish
Instructions
- Start by brewing a cup of strong coffee using your preferred coffee maker. Set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch, and salt until the mixture is smooth and pale.
- Slowly add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the brewed coffee and coffee extract until well combined.
- Pour the custard mixture into a large bowl or individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
- Before serving, garnish with chocolate chips and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Notes
NOTES
- Use Fresh Beans: For the best flavor, always use freshly roasted coffee beans. Grind them just before brewing to preserve the aroma and taste.
- Water Quality Matters: Use filtered water for brewing coffee. The quality of water can significantly impact the flavor of your coffee.
- Proper Brewing Temperature: The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is between 195°F and 205°F (90°C to 96°C). Too hot or too cold can affect the extraction process.
- Experiment with Ratios: Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio to suit your taste. A common starting point is 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
- Add a Pinch of Salt: Adding a small pinch of salt to your coffee grounds can help to reduce bitterness and enhance the coffee’s natural sweetness.
