Recipe - Irish Coffee Ice Cream

1 cup Sugar
1 Env unflavored gelatin
4 cup Light cream; or
halfandhalf
3 Eggs; beaten
One fourth cup Instant coffee granules
One fourth cup Whiskey; or Irish Mist
liquer

In a large saucepan combine sugar and gelatin. Stir in light cream or
halfandhalf. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture almost boils

and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Stir about 1 cup of the hot mixture
into beaten eggs; return all to saucepan. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or
till slightly thickened. Do not boil. Stir in instant coffee crystals and
whiskey or liqueur. Cool. Transfer the mixture to a 4quart icecream maker
and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.

Or, transfer the mixture into a 9x9x2inch baking pan. Cover and freeze 2
to 3 hours or till almost firm. Break frozen mixture into chunks and
transfer to a chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixture till smooth but
not melted. Return to pan. Cover; freeze till firm.

Makes about 1One half quarts (12 to 16 servings).

NOTES : Inspiration for this indulgence came from the popular beverage that
marries coffee, Irish whiskey, and cream. Irish whiskey is less pungent
than Scotch whiskey and sweeter and cleaner in taste than American bourbon
whiskey. Omit the whiskey if you wish, or use Irish Mist, a liqueur made
of whiskey and honey, for a slightly sweeter note.
