Grand
Marnier Mocha Ice Cream
Piret's, George and Piret Munger, 1985, Houghton Mifflin
Company
9
egg yolks
1 cup sugar
4 cups heavy cream
1 pound best-quality European semisweet chocolate
1/2
cup strong, freshly brewed mocha coffee plus
2 tablespoons coffee grounds
from the pot
1/2 cup Grand Marnier
Beat
egg yolks and sugar with a whisk until they are thick and lemon-
colored
and mixture falls from the whisk in an undulating ribbon.
In a medium saucepan scald 3 cups heavy cream until bubbles form
on the edge of the pan. Stir the
hot cream mixture into the egg mixture.
Stir very quickly with whisk so eggs do not cook.
Pour cream mixture
back into the saucepan. Heat mixture over high heat 1 to 2 minutes,
whisking constantly.
(If you beat the mixture furiously, it will thicken
without curdling the egg yolks - or - cook the custard in top of double
boiler, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens.) When custard has
thickened pout it into a clean bowl and place bowl
in pan of cool water.
Stir
the custard periodically until it is cool.
In double boiler over medium high heat combine chocolate, coffee
and coffee grounds and heat until chocolate melts completely.
Stir
the chocolate mixture into the cool (but not cold) custard and
stir to
blend thoroughly. Set
aside to cool to room temperature. When
mixture
is cool, stir in Grand Marnier and the remaining 1 cup heavy
cream;
stir to blend. Chill. Freeze
the mixture in an ice cream maker according
to the manufacturer's
directions.
