Recipe: Hazelnut Latte

Ice Cream on a Tuesday?!? Has The Mitch gone mad?

3 eggs
100g sugar
400 ml milk
300 ml cream
200ml strong espresso coffee
~1 cup roasted hazelnuts

Lightly beat your eggs and mix in the sugar. Heat the milk and coffee in a pan, pour gradually into the eggs and put it back in the pan and stir until you get your custard. Refrigerate until cold. Slop it into your ice cream maker and add the nuts when it starts getting thick.

Verdict: Very good. The coffee flavour was strong but not at all bitter, and the amount of hazelnuts was generous without overdoing the nuttiness. Make mine a grande!

Haven't been here in a long time, but thought I'd check in and drool.

I don't even make ice cream, but I keep your site bookmarked, and give out your recipes to those that do.

It all sounds so good :)
