BEN & JERRY'S CAPPUCCINO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.
• Pour in the cream and milk, and whisk to blend.
• Add 2-1/2 tablespoons of the coffee and cinnamon, and whisk to blend again.
• Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's directions.
• After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the remaining 1 tablespoon coffee, then continue freezing until done.
• Makes 1 quart.

COFFEE CAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• For the vanilla ice cream base: Add the heavy cream, milk, sugar and vanilla to a 10-ounce metal coffee can with a lid (see Cook's Note). Close the lid and secure it with duct tape, making sure the can is completely sealed. Shake the mixture lightly to combine. Place the sealed can into an empty 3-pound coffee can with a lid.
• Put on rubber gloves to protect your skin from the ice and salt. Add the ice around and on top of the sealed can, so the can is completely encased in ice. Pour 1 cup of the rock salt over the ice. Close the large can with the lid and secure it with duct tape. Place the large can on its side directly on the floor or a yoga mat, if desired (see Cook's Note). Roll the can back and forth, making sure to make a full rotation with each roll, about 20 minutes. The rolling is easier with a partner, but it can be done alone.
• Open the large can and discard the ice and salt. Rinse the small can with water; this will help keep any salt from getting in the ice cream. Open the small can. The mixture should be partially solid with some liquid with crystals forming. Use a large metal spoon to scrape any solids that have accumulated on the sides and bottom of the can and stir them into the rest of the mixture.
• Seal the small can again with the lid and duct tape. Refill the large can with ice and the remaining 1 cup salt. Seal the large can again with the lid and duct tape. Roll for another 15 to 20 minutes. Open the large can and discard the ice and salt. Rinse the small can and open. Scrape the sides and bottom with the large metal spoon. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container.
• For the coffee ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, substituting the cold brew or strong coffee for 1/2 cup of the whole milk.
• For the chocolate ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, substituting the full-fat chocolate milk for the whole milk. In addition, add the chocolate syrup to the milk mixture, if desired, for a richer flavor.
• For the cookies and cream ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base. After rolling the mixture for the first 20 minutes and stirring in any solid ice cream, stir in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. Seal and continue to roll following the instructions.
• For the chocolate chip ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, adding 1/3 cup finely chopped chocolate (2 ounces) to the cream and milk mixture before rolling.
• For the mint chocolate chip ice cream: Follow the instructions for the vanilla ice cream base, adding 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract to the cream and milk mixture before rolling.

COFFEE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the cream, milk, sugar, and coffee in a medium, heavy saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
• Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg yolks. Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and reaches 170 degrees F. on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Remove from the refrigerator and pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream is made, transfer to an airtight container. Cover tightly and freeze until ready to serve. Garnish with chocolate curls.

CAPPUCCINO ON ICE

Steps:

• Add water and coffee to one 16-ounce coffee cup.
• Place cup in microwave, and microwave until coffee is heated through.
• Place heated coffee in refrigerator, to chill the coffee. (I found the coffee was chilled within 1 hour).

• Pour coffee over ice in the glass and serve.

COFFEE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the cream and sugar until the sugar has dissolved completely and the mixture is frothy.

• Prepare the ice cream in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.

COFFEE ICE CREAM TERRINE

Steps:

• Leave the ice creams out at room temperature for a few mins to soften slightly. Brush a 1.2-litre loaf tin with the vegetable oil and line with cling film. Put 250g dark chocolate and the coconut oil in a small heatproof bowl over a pan of just simmering water. Stir to melt, then set aside to cool.
• Spoon half the coffee ice cream into the base of the tin and level the surface. Working quickly, spread over a quarter of the chocolate sauce, then half the vanilla ice cream and another quarter of chocolate sauce. Repeat with the remaining chocolate sauce and ice creams, finishing with a layer of chocolate sauce. Cover loosely with cling film and freeze for at least 2 hrs, or ideally overnight.
• Melt the remaining 50g chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Lift the terrine out of the tin and turn out onto a plate. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and top with the crushed honeycomb or Maltesers. Cut into thick slices to serve.
