Homemade ice cream is fantastic, adn I like it especially with my favorite coffee. \r\n\r\nI usually take 3 cups light cream, 1 3/4 cups of sugar, 3 beaten eggs, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 cup of rum, 1/2 cup of cold strong coffee and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.\r\n\r\nI scald light cream while blending in sugar. Add slowly over beaten eggs and blend thoroughly. Cook while stirring on top of a double boiler until thickened, and chill.\r\n\r\nThen add the cooled coffee, salt, and whipping cream.\r\n\r\nWith either electric or hand-operated ice cream freezer, use churning instruction with the freezer. Begin churning in the freezer. When almost frozen, add vanilla and rum. The finished ice cream will be of a soft-serve consistency until hardened in a freezer.

Thanks for this interesting recipe!
