- In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, and finely ground coffee beans. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
- Remove from the heat and cover. Let it steep for about 20 minutes to infuse the coffee flavor.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve double-lined with cheesecloth to remove the coffee grounds. Strain two times, if necessary, to remove all of the larger coffee grounds. Return the strained coffee-cream mixture to the saucepan and warm well, (but do not allow to simmer).
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
- Temper the egg yolks by whisking a 1/4 cup of the warm coffee mixture into the eggs. Whisk together, then add a whole cup of the warm coffee mixture to the eggs and whisk together. Finally, add the entire egg mixture to the saucepan holding the remaining warm coffee mixture.
- Cook the coffee mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens. Be sure to not let the mixture come to a boil.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Add the vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- Chill the coffee custard base in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Pour the chilled custard base into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Transfer the churned ice cream to a sealed container and freeze for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
