This is probably the best ice cream I have ever made. The recipe makes a generous 4-6 servings since everyone wants seconds. I toasted almonds on the stove in butter until golden. Chilled them in the fridge and stirred them in last. I did add a pinch of salt to the recipe along with 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. I like my ice cream salty/sweet hence the additions. I used a Cuisinart ice cream mixer and I am going to fiddle with the recipe so I can make about 1/3 more to fit my mixer.

Made this using a cup of egg beaters instead of the 6 eggs called for... Had housefull of 30-somethings men (hubby and friends) who were walking around eating it saying "Oh my God.... Oh...My....God..." I'm thinking that made it a 5 star recipe :)

Easy and GREAT flavor. Not too sweet. Forget the straining and plastic top. It was just the perfect amount for the Cuisinart Ice Cream Freezer.

I only made half a recipe but should have made the entire portion. I chilled over night and had a bite before putting into the freezer. Wonderful. Can't wait to have it for dessert later today.

This is beyond delicious! I used Folger's Crystals instead of the expresso powder, and added some mini chocolate chips at the end of the churn cycle. I love the flavor of coffee but can't STAND hot beverages - they just make me thirstier, so this is, to me, just perfect! Thanks for posting!
