This recipe uses a vacuum sealer and sous vide circulator to infuse light-roast coffee into cream at 60°C. By avoiding boiling temperatures, the process prevents bitter flavors while preserving delicate, floral aromatics. The result is a sophisticated, "true-to-bean" coffee ice cream that highlights the terroir of high-quality roasts.

Make amazing salted caramel for espresso drinks in just four minutes. Melt 500g of sugar until liquefied and brown, then vigorously whisk in one liter of heavy cream. After cooling for thirty minutes, add four pinches of salt to create a thick, velvety sauce perfect for lattes and desserts.
