Coffee and Whiskey Ice Cream

Combine the sugar, water, and coffee in a saucepan

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until it reaches a smooth, syrupy consistency (forming a ball between your fingers)

Beat the egg yolks until they're quite thick

Mix the warm coffee mixture with the egg yolks a little at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture holds its shape when lifted from the whisk

Chill in the refrigerator

When cold, add the whiskey and whipped cream

Beat until smooth

Pour into a serving mold and freeze until firm

To serve, remove from mold and cut like a cake
