December 27, 2022

Instructions:

  1. Crush or grind the beans. Put the crush/grinds and cream into a jar. Cover with a lid and keep in fridge for 20-24 hours. Give the infusion a nice stir a few times during steeping process.  
  2. Strain the cream through a mesh or similar and put it in the fridge. Note that the amount of liquid cream is a lot smaller than in the beginning of process.
  3. Put a saucepan on a medium heat. Simmer the milk, don’t boil it. In case you use vanilla pod, steep it in the milk here.  
  4. Whisk eggs and sugar in a heat proof bowl. Then add the hot milk into the mixture whisking constantly. Add first just a small amount of milk pouring slowly to avoid making scrambled eggs ? After that you can add the rest of the milk and be a bit faster.
  5. Once the milk, eggs and sugar are mixed, pour the mixture on the saucepan. Cook it on medium heat stirring constantly for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens a bit. In case you use vanilla extract, add it at this point.  
  6. Cool down the milk for 10 minutes and then stir in the coffee cream. Put the mixture in the fridge for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.
