    My coffee ice cream recipe:
    120g sugar
    5.5g salt
    1g lambda carrageenan (can be swapped for another thickener of your choice)
    1g locust bean gum
    100g filtered water
    400g of brewed coffee (at 70g/L) or 400g of cold brew instead, if preferred
    30g cocoa butter
    2g cocoa powder
    10g cherry syrup (could be substituted for another fruit syrup of your choice, depending on the coffee...)
    Process:
    • Mix together the dry ingredients: sugar, salt, lambda carrageenan, and locust bean gum.
    • Combine these with 100mls of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil to dissolve. Simmer and whisk for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
    • Brew 500g of coffee using a paper filter (400g for the recipe, the remaining as a treat for you).
    • Into a blender, combine the gelled syrup (your initial 4 dry ingredients dissolved into water) with a good splash† of your coffee, 30g cocoa butter, 2g of cocoa powder, and 10g of cherry syrup.
    • Blend for less than minute to combine, then add the rest of your coffee and blend until completely mixed.
    • Chill the mixture in an ice bath until cool. Then it’s either ready to be churned with a traditional ice cream machine or transferred into your freezer if you’re using the Ninja Creami. For the Ninja, it’ll be ready to turn into ice cream after being in the freezer for 24 hours. Enjoy!

    Pastry chef here: I've been playing with the Creami for a bit now, and there's an essential point that James sort of glosses over in the video.
    Adding fat to an ice-cream base is hard: it's mostly water, so if the fat's not perfectly emulsified, it will congeal into tiny solid droplets that will give a greasy feeling to the ice cream and stick to the roof of your mouth. I've had ices where you could literally scrape the fat off your tongue with a spoon.
    In the video, James does not need to worry about this because he's using a powerful blender that will emulsify anything: if all you have is a cheap blender, or a stick blender, or (may Chris Young help you) nothing, you need to work hard at getting a proper emulsion.
    This also applies to adding powdered ingredients (like the cocoa powder: better to boil it with the rest of the dry stuff), chocolate (any kind), oils, and dairy fat (boiled cream may split, etc).
    Also, James, you've said plenty of relatable stuff on this channel over the years but at "I've wanted a PacoJet for like a decade" I may have shouted at my phone in agreement.

Making emulsions is not impossible: my point was that, for most people with household equipment, it's not quite as easy as plonking everything in a blender and calling it a day. I urge anyone who's interested in food science (I'm guessing it's a significant fraction of this channel's viewers) to look into it! It's fun!

    • @joepangean6770
      @joepangean6770 Рік тому +6

      I would suggest brewing the coffee with a very small amount of roasted cacao bean. The cocoa solids will not remain but the extracted cocoa flavor will remain. Also, maybe use MCT oil as the fats and yes it requires emulsification. (The fats are necessary to carry the bulk of flavors as they are fat soluble and much less water soluble.)

    • @noahmichael89

    This is fantastic! I've made this a few times now, here are my notes:
    The flavor is excellent I find the recipe as is a little bit too icy, especially since I know how incredible the texture could be from other sorbets I've done on the creami. Luckily this is a pretty easy fix, but it takes some weird ingredients.
    1 -Stabilizers.
    -Add 1g CMC (Aka celluose gum), it is the most effective de-icer I've found.
    -Sub guar gum for lotus because guar doesn't require heat so now we can skip the boiling step (I think Xantham Gum could also work here if you have that on hand)
    -Modernist Pantry makes a great sorbet stabilizer you can sub in for all of these
    2 - Sugar
    50g Sucrose (can add more to taste, if you want less sweetness sub in 1:1 for dextrose or glucose)
    30g Dextrose (better at lowering the freezing point, good for less ice!)
    30g Glucose (~DE40 is good, kind of acts like a fat/solid)
    20g Inulin (It's a little sweet but really it's more of a stabilizer here)
    20g Trehelose (Also a sweetener/stabilizer, it's sort of like flavorless milk powder in my experience)
    -If this is too many sugars you could get halfway there subbing half of the sucrose for dextrose (dextrose is just dry corn sugar, it's nice to have around).
    3 - Flavor and other notes
    -Add 2g Mallic Acid, to complement the acidity of the coffee. I am treating this like a sorbet; I always add Mallic to my sorbets and sherbets to complement the fruitiness. You could sub lemon juice here if you had to. Also it could be fun to play with different acids you might have on hand (citric, lactic, phosphoric are a few we have in the coffee lab). If you don't do anything else try this! It adds back in that refreshing crisp acidity missing from cold coffees.
    -I added a ~2 hour cure in the fridge because I do that for all my ice creams, I'm not sure if it's relevant here but generally it gives stabilizers the sugars time to act and bind up water
    -I think this is a great application for no-bypass brewers, to get a higher concentration of flavor packed into less water.
    -You could probably make this without cocoa butter entirely as long as you balance the stabilizers, and/or add some more solids in. Pectin seems useful here
    -I didn't have any trouble dissolving the sugars without heat, if you're worried about it just use the coffee while it's still hot.
    -Perhaps heretical but I used a (oolong) tea syrup instead of cherry when brewing with the Ethiopian
    -I've tried this with a few coffees, it could be my cocoa powder but it's a little too chocolately. This complemented a really nice Huehue I brewed, but I think it overwhelmed a more delicate washed Ethiopian. For more delicate coffees I would add less cocoa powder, maybe 1g.
    Thank you for reading, I've had a blast tinkering with this recipe. It's such a unique flavor that's only really possible with the creami, we are so lucky to live in an age where such high-tech kitchen gadgets are so readily available.

    Update: I took the coffee gelato that was made with the conventional ice cream maker (Cuisinart) and processed it in the CREAMi. What a difference in the texture and I think the flavor improved! I'm glad I got this new gadget. Also, I made the ChefSteps Roasted Cocoa Gelato recipe that James based his coffee ice cream variation. Texture was like a chocolate truffle and flavor was good but not great. The roasted cocoa tasted a little burnt although I only roasted for 1 hr instead of 2 (what ChefSteps calls for). I used a high quality cocoa powder (Valrhona). The flavor improved dramatically by adding whipped cream on top of the serving. Next time I will not roast the cocoa. I look forward to making coffee ice creams with this recipe using different coffee beans.

I figure something like half to 2/3rds the tub being cold brew concentrate, then heavy cream or milk and little bit of sugar and salt, whisked well (due to the nature of cream not liking freezing) then frozen for this method would work well to get rid of the acidic bitterness, which is the main reason I've switched entirely to cold brew coffee rather than hot brew.

    Cool Video! I also have the Ninja Creami since Chris Young posted the video, and have been wanting a Pacojet for many years. Regarding the recipe, after researching and reading a lot about ice cream, I recommend you emulsify the cocoa butter like a genache using the heated gum-sugar mixture (much better then chopping into tiny bits with the blender!) and to improve the overall texture and flavour most professionals mature the whole mixture in the fridge for 24h before churning/freezing it.

    If y'all don't mind an armchair expert coming along: If you already have a stand mixer, you can get a reasonably cheap ice cream churning attachment which usually takes the form of a thick bowl that is stored in the freezer and a special mixer that keeps the ice cream/sorbet base agitated and scrapes the frozen layer off the super-chilled bowl. A way to ensure creamy ice cream/sorbet is to make sure the ice crystals are tiny. The Ninja Creami works by physically breaking the crystals, but ice cream churners and even no churn recipes will need to use chemical methods. It's not too difficult though, just replace the regular sugar with an invert sugar (the three most common invert sugars are honey, golden syrup, and sweetened condensed milk) and add a splash of alcohol of some variety. While you could add a little neutral spirit, you could also add a flavored alcohol like vanilla extract, coffee liqueur, or creme de cacao. If you have any religious or personal disinclination to using alcohol, the invert sugar alone should be fine.

    • @MeiinUK
      @MeiinUK Рік тому +2

      You ever tried to put some cold coffee, or any flavoured drinks and fridge it to around say 5C or so... And then separately freeze some ice to be around under -10C... and then when serving, shave some of the crystals onto the top and watch it freeze the entire drink. It's best to do this if you have one of those specialist chef's table, to do in real time, cos it can't travel across a restaurant. You put in a seed crystal and then it will convert the entire drink. For complexity, you could use the cube to be from one flavour, and the outside drink to be a different one. "Flavour within a flavour" is something which you play around with sensory dining. Scientifically speaking, what your mind is thinking is that, it can detect the difference in tastes... components within a component.. so therefore you assume that it is "depth". Good Derren Brown bamboozle, right ? ;)

      @@ximono If you've never heard of them, there's a fantastic cooking channel on UA-cam called Glen and Friends run by an elderly Canadian cook and cinematographer. He came up with some fantastic no churn ice cream recipes that use these chemical methods to remain creamy and smooth just by sticking it in the freezer. To make a long story short, an ice cream base that's been whipped and sweetened with sweetened condensed milk and flavored with a liqueur can be placed directly in the freezer and will freeze with such small ice crystals that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between it and a churned ice cream. I still churn anyways because I have an ice cream churner stand mixer attachment, and it's convenient for me.

      Yes!

My preferred version is an erythritol + stevia blend called Natvia, because I don't have to go to a specialty shop for it, I can get it at the supermarket, yay.

I used kappa carragenan instead of iota and slightly changed the way the ingredients are incorporated to facilitate the emulsion. It turned out super creamy but with small ice crystals, I don't know if that's normal (I'm not an expert on ice-cream, yet). Flavour wise, it was amazing; you can definetly notice the salt but in a really really good way. Curiously enough I also used coffee from Square Mile (Los Nisperos), very nice aswell. I'll definetly keep this one on my recipe book and play around with it, thank you.
