In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Stir frequently until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture begins to steam.
Stir in the instant coffee granules until fully dissolved. Remove from heat.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they are light and frothy. Slowly pour about a cup of the hot cream mixture into the yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Return to medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
While the ice cream churns, prepare the espresso ripple by brewing a strong espresso shot. Allow it to cool completely before use.
When the ice cream is almost done, slowly drizzle the cooled espresso into the ice cream maker, letting it create ripples throughout the ice cream.
Transfer the finished ice cream to a lidded container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Serve scoops of this delightful Coffee Espresso Ripple in bowls or cones, and enjoy the luxurious combination of coffee ice cream and espresso swirls!
