She will tell you that I was slightly skeptical at first.

At first taste I was an instant convert.

This is a great ice cream combination.

you’ve got the option to fold them in after the ice cream is made if you want.

The alcohol in the rum helps keep the ice cream from getting too hard and icy.

If you prefer not to use the rum, you’re free to use bourbon or brandy.

Or, just omit the rum with no substitute.

The ice cream will still be satisfyingly delicious.

Do not use brewed coffee in this recipe.

It will alter the consistency of the ice cream.

Stir in the instant coffee until it is dissolved.

Pour the remaining 1 cup of cream into a medium size metal bowl.

Set it in an ice water bath in a larger bowl.

Set a mesh sieve on top of the bowls.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks together.

Pour the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.

This step can take 5 to 10 minutes.

Pour the custard through the sieve and stir it into the chilled cream.

Process the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the ice cream maker directions.

Transfer mixture to a plastic storage container and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.

Consume the ice cream within the first few days if you want a creamy texture.

It may form ice crystals within a few days because it has no stabilizers.
