Flavor #2 - Coffee

Coffee has always been pretty popular with the family. The recipe is pretty simple, even though I had been asked to scale down the overall fat content.  The difficulty is reducing the coffee without burning it.  In the past, I have just tossed a partial cup of coffee or a double cappuccino from the Dunks in with the mix, but the final product comes out too icy. 

2 Cups of coffee reduced on low heat to 1/3 of a Cup

1 1/2 cups of Half & Half

1 1/2 cups of Milk

3/4 cup of Sugar

I took my eye off the first coffee reduction and in just a few minutes saw the pan go from having a single measured cup to a brown sludge with a smell that brought me back to old coffee maker at WBCN that had no automatic turn off. The second time was the charm.  Overall, using the Half & Half gives it a lighter feel, but for me, it is too much like ice milk and not ice cream.  The batch is a good one and will be gone by the weekend!
