Coffee Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream


One of my good friends from college and I would have secret ron de vu moments (meaning we would run away from work for a little bit) where we would go and get Mc Cafe iced coffee. They were so delicious I wished the cups were bigger so they would hold more. So I decided to combine both the love for iced coffee and ice cream. This I swear is so good I do not think I can go back to Mc Cafe and it is less calories.

Ingredients
7 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups almond milk
1 3/4 skim heavy cream
3 1/2 tbsp instant coffee
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup chocolate chip chunks or chips

Method
1. In a bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar for 5 minutes
2.  In a sauce pan put milk, heavy cream and coffee on a low heat and bring to a simmer
3.  Whisk 1 cup of milk mixture into egg and sugar mixture and whisk until smooth
4.  Pour egg mixture into the milk and return to the sauce pan on low heat for 5 minutes or until it thickens
5. Strain mixture and cover with plastic wrap and freeze
6. Pour into ice cream machine and allow to churn
7. When mixture is almost finished pour in the chocolate chips or chunks
8. Freeze for 4 hours for firmer texture
9. Enjoy
