Ingredients

  • tablespoon cardamom pods 
  • cups cup heavy whipping cream 
  •  egg yolk 
  • tablespoons ground coffee 
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • cup milk 
  • 0.8 cup sugar 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • knife
  • whisk
  • sieve

Directions

  1. In a heavy saucepan bring cream and milk to a simmer. While dairy is heating, toast cardamom pods in a dry skillet until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes, and press down on them to open with the flat side of a knife. When dairy comes to a simmer, remove from heat, stir in cardamom pods, cover, and steep for 30 minutes.
  2. Bring dairy back to a simmer and stir in ground coffee.
  3. Remove from heat, cover, and steep for 15 minutes. In another medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until very well combined and slightly thickened.
  4. Strain dairy into egg mixture through a fine mesh strainer and discard solids.
  5. Whisk immediately to combine. Cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until a custard forms on the back of a spoon but a finger swiped across the back leaves a clean line. Strain into an airtight container and stir in salt. Chill custard in refrigerator at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  6. The next day, churn according to manufacturer's instructions.
  7. Transfer ice cream to airtight container and chill in freezer until firm and scoopable, 3 to 4 hours.
