Flavor #70 - Turbo Twix

Now that Halloween is behind us, I can say with confidence that I managed to avoid digging in to the kids Halloween stash this year. However, what I saw did inspire at least one new flavor - Coffee Ice Cream with bite sized Twix mixed in.  This also gave me a chance to use my updated coffee ice cream recipe.

1 1/2 Cups of Heavy Cream

1 1/2 Cups of Milk

3/4 Cup of Sugar

1 Pinch of Salt

1 1/2 Cups of Whole Coffee Beans

4oz of Twix Bites

Add all of your ingredients, except the Twix, to a sauce pan and heat until it steams. Do not bring to a boil. Take the mixture off the heat and let it sit for 30 minutes then strain the coffee beans out of the mixture. You will notice a significant loss of liquid as the beans will soak up almost a whole cup! Chill the mix before you add it to the machine. On the transfer to the hardening container, add the Twix bites. I've noticed making coffee ice cream using this method that you will end up making a much smaller batch with the loss of the overall amount of milk and cream lost in the coffee beans. However, the coffee flavor is much improved!

Enjoy!
