Bailey's is a famous brand of Irish whiskey that comes in a variety of delectable flavours. In fact the term Baileys is so widely popular that it has become synonymous with Irish whiskey. Anyway , I had a bottle of bailey's lying around that was about to expire and I thought why only drink alcohol when you can eat it too ! So I thought of making bailey's Icecream. And since I had the coffee flavour, I made BAILEY's COFFEE ICECREAM. And let me tell you that this ice cream is absolutely amazing. It's smooth , rich and creamy. The recipe is adapted from "THE ULTIMATE ICECREAM BOOK" by Bruce Weinstein. Enjoy !
INGREDIENTS
Makes 2 quarts
1/2 cup Irish whiskey
3/4th cup sugar
5 tsp instant coffee powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups cream
6 large egg yolks
2 cups milk
2 tsp vanilla essence
METHOD
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan , heat together the milk , sugar , coffee and salt till everything is disolved and the mixture is simmering.
In a separate bowl beat the egg yolks and slowly add half of your warm mixture to the yolks while whisking continously.
Transfer this mixture back to the sauce pan and heat till it coats the back of a wooden spoon or till it reaches 170 degrees.
Then pass it through a sieve and place it in an ice bath till it cools. Once this happens , whisk in your cream ,vanilla and bailey's and voila ! Your base is ready.
Add it to your ice cream machine as per the instructions and store in the freezer in an airtight container
