Ingredients
- 1 cup full cream milk
- 1¼ cups thickened cream
- ¾ cup sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 1½ cups fresh mint leaves roughly chopped
- 100 gm dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine milk, cream, and sugar in a saucepan and heat on medium-high until simmering.
- Remove from heat and whisk the yolks in a large bowl until pale.
- Slowly add 1 cup of the hot milk to the yolks, all the while whisking. Once combined, whisk back into the hot milk and continue heating until the custard base thickens.
- Remove the custard base from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before pulsing in a food processor – roughly six pulses are sufficient.
- Add the custard base to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight, allowing the mint flavour to infuse.
- Once chilled, strain and add to an ice cream machine; churn following the manufacturer's instructions.
- When the ice cream is almost ready to be removed from the machine, toss in the chocolate pieces. Allow a minute for the add-ins to distribute.
- Add the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until you get the desired hardness.
