This dessert needs no explanation.

Ice cream is perhaps the most beloved and iconic dessert in the world, famous in every nation across the globe.

Its origins date back to antiquity when, probably, fruit, milk, honey, and other foods were refrigerated to preserve them. Keep in mind that there are reports of frozen dairy products that date as far back as the Tang dynasty (618–907).

However, Ice cream as we know it today was invented by Bernardo Buontalenti, a famous architect who worked in the court of Caterina dei Medici in the 17th century.

Now, let’s learn how to prepare this delicious recipe!

INGREDIENTS

3 eggs

5.3 oz sugar

10.6 oz cream

2 fl oz (4 cups) espresso “ristretto”

DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare 4 cups of espresso coffee.

2. Whip the chilled cream until you get the desired consistency and leave it in the fridge while you continue with the other preparations.

3. Separate the yolks from the egg whites.

4. Add 3.5 oz of sugar to the yolks and blend with an electric whisk until you obtain a dense mousse (whip for about 3 minutes) and then add it to the whipped cream; remember to mix slowly.

6. Add it all to the cream with the yolks, folding in from the bottom up.
