If the notion of a hot ice cream blows your mind you’re not alone. This recipe takes your favorite traditional ice cream flavor and flips expectations on its head using methylcellulose and a bit of modern technique. When was the last time you served up ice cream and shouted “Get ’em while they’re hot!

Ingredients

  • 250g (9oz) Heavy Cream
  • 160g (5oz) Sugar
  • 5g (1tsp) Vanilla Extract
  • 5g (1tsp) Salt
  • 300g (11oz) Milk
  • 300g (7oz) Water
  • 100g (2/3 cup) Dark Roast Coffee Grounds
  • 25g (5tbsp) Methocel A4C

 

Equipment

  • Superbag 100 Micron
  • Ice Cream Scoop with a Squeeze Release
  • Spherification Spoon
  • Small Pot
  • Whisk

Timing

Active Time: 20 Minutes

Total Time: 25 Hours

Yield

1 Quart

  • Make Cold Brew

    Place the coffee grounds in the water and allow it to sit for 25 hours.

    Meanwhile dry mix together the methocel A4C, sugar, and salt.

  • Blend Ice-cream Base

    In a blender on medium speed mix together the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract.

    Continue to blend while sprinkling in the dry ingredients. Blend on high for 2 minutes.

    Allow the ice cream base to rest for 24 hours.

  • Combine

    After 24 hours, strain the cold brew through a superbag and whisk directly into the ice-cream base. Whisk until fully incorporated.

  • Serve Hot Ice-cream

    In a small pot bring some water to a simmer.

    Fill an ice cream scoop with the ice-cream mixture. Hold the ice-cream scoop with the open side up and gently lay the ice-cream mixture into the water. This will help keep the best shape for the hot ice cream.

    The mixture will gel immediately when it lands in the water.

    Allow the ice-cream to gel for 1-2 minutes before removing with a spherification spoon.

    Serve immediately as the hot ice-cream will melt as it cools.

Why does the hot ice cream need to be removed from the hot water with a spherification spoon?

Thanks,
Hayden

So you don’t end up with a pool of water on the plate.

Are there coffee-free and chocolate-free hot ice cream recipes?

The hot ice cream recipe is mostly about technique. You can use the same recipe to make other types of hot ice creams as well, the ratios may have be tweaked a bit but the general technique is the same.

Hi! If left to gel all the way through, is the hot ice cream’s texture comparable to that of regular ice cream?
Awesome blog btw!

No, it’s not going to be like a regular ice cream. Hot ice cream is definitely it’s own thing.

It would not, the gel would be too soft.
