Method:

1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk, cream and coffee to the boil; set aside.

2. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Slowly add the hot milk, stirring continuously with a balloon whisk.

3. Return the mixture to the cleaned saucepan over a low heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Strain the custard into a bowl and leave to cool.

4. Churn in an ice cream machine. Serve with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkling of powdered chocolate.
