This ultra-creamy Coffee Ice Cream studded with Hershey’s Heath Bar pieces is a combination made in heaven! 

Coffee Toffee Ice Cream

Looking for one last treat for your special Valentine?? Want to make them swoon? This Coffee Toffee Ice Cream is just the ticket!

Coffee Toffee Ice Cream

My favorite person to make homemade ice cream for is hands down, my son Casey. He loves ice cream as much as my Dad did. You can just tell how much he’s lovin’ it because there’s a special look on his face while he’s eating it, just like his grandfather had. It’s the “all is right in the world” kinda look!

Coffee Toffee Ice Cream

I made this Coffee Toffee Ice Cream for Casey last week as an early Valentine’s Day treat. Next Monday, he leaves for Bali to visit friends and then ten days later he’s off to Shanghai for his study abroad program. I won’t get to see him for a few months, so I’ve been trying to pack in a few of his favorites before he goes.

Coffee Toffee Ice Cream

For this delicious Coffee Toffee flavor, I add some medium ground coffee beans to my favorite vanilla ice cream base and let it steep for 10 minutes until it takes on a rich coffee flavor. I then use a fine mesh strainer to strain out the grounds before I add the eggs. You can steep the mixture for longer than ten minutes if you’d like a stronger coffee flavor, or steep it less for a milder flavor, you be the judge. I added about 1 1/4 cups of chopped Heath Bars during the last minute of mixing and stored the ice cream in a container in the freezer for about 4-5 hours before we dove in! The wait was tough….but it was oh so worth it! Enjoy!

Coffee Toffee Ice Cream
Servings: 1 1/2 quarts
Author: MaryAnn Dwyer
Ingredients
  • 3 cups half and half
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup medium ground coffee
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 9 ounces granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups Heath Bars chopped
Instructions
  1. Combine the half and half , heavy cream and ground coffee in medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat stirring occasionally. Bring the mixture to a simmer then remove from heat and steep for about 10 minutes. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Discard grounds. Set cream mixture aside.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks in a medium bowl until light in color and smooth. Add the sugar and salt slowly and whisk to combine. Add the cream mixture to the egg mixture in small amounts until you have included about half the cream mixture. Whisk in the remainder of the cream mixture and return to the saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often until mixture reaches 175 degrees. At this stage the mixture will be slightly thickened and will coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and pour into container. Let cool on counter for 30 minutes, then place in refrigerator overnight.
  3. Remove from refrigerator and pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions. (about 20-30 minutes depending on your machine) Add the chopped Heath Bars during the last 1 minute of mixing. Place mixture in a shallow airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for a firmer consistency.

    Aw, I’ll bet you are going to miss Casey so much but what an exciting adventure for him. To be young again! Casey is so lucky to have you because you are always making him special treats. I love all ice cream and this wouldn’t last long in my house. Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Ooooh Casey is in for some fabulous experiences ahead! What an exciting time in his life, Mary Ann… I know you’ll miss spoiling him with delicious recipes like this. What’s not to love about this crave worthy Coffee-Toffee Ice Cream!? Crunch, creamy, sweet…. and I am SO in love with the infusion of coffee. We eat ice cream year round and it’s been too long since I made homemade.. I’m thinking August was the last time. I need to whip some up ASAP… this one is on the list!

    Ooh, this ice cream reminds me of my old favorite Ben and Jerry’s variety (it’s gone through a few name changes but I think it’s called Coffee Caramel Buzz) – and I say “old” because I haven’t been able to find it very easily for a number of years. I bet this homemade version is even better, though! It looks absolutely irresistible. Safe travels to your son! That sounds like quite an adventure.
