I wish the directions had been a bit clearer, I'm currently staring at a curdled egg and milk mixture. I stirred consistently over medium heat but my eggs started cooking and it turned into a mess. Bummer because this recipe sounded delicious!

I love this ice cream! I changed it slightly and replaced the sugar with about 6 tablespoons of agave nectar and it turned out great. I also used the basic recipe to make a peach custard ice cream and it was pretty good!

This light coffee ice cream had a great texture and wonderful rich coffee flavor. The recipe does not make much ice cream and the servings for six were quite small. The directions were a bit sparce so I followed the instructions for my ice cream maker and gradually warmed up my egg mixture stirring constantly so the eggs would not curdle and cooked over low heat until mixture was slightly thickened and coated the back of a spoon (about 3-4 minutes). I then placed the mixture in the refrigerator to cool completely (about 30 minutes) before adding the vanilla and half-and-half. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am sure I will be making it again.

My whole family loved this ice cream. My grandma laughed at me when she saw how small the amount of "batter" was before putting it into the ice cream machine tin, but she was the first one to proclaim how good it was after we opened and the first to say that she couldn't eat another bite after we had all had a bowl. I used Dacaf and fat free evap. milk. The flavor was VERY rich and I didn't feel guilty...not once.
