Ice Cream (Mint)
This Mint Ice Cream recipe has the cleanest mint flavor without any artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.
Ingredients
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 10 egg yolks
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint oil or 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
Instructions
- In large saucepan, combine cream, milk, 1/2 cup sugar and salt. Heat just to simmering over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Place egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed 2 minutes or until thick and pale yellow in color.
- In a slow, steady stream, add 1 cup of warm cream mixture to egg mixture.
- Pour yolk mixture into saucepan with remaining cream mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until mixture is thick enough to coat back of spoon.
- Strain through fine-mesh strainer set over large bowl.
- Stir in peppermint oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap placed directly on custard; chill completely.
- Pour custard mixture into your ice cream machine and freeze according to instructions for your machine (mine took about 20 minutes).
- Transfer ice cream to freezer to harden completely (at least 4 hours).
Notes
- If your ice cream maker has a removable canister to freeze, make sure it throughly frozen before churning.
- Use the highest quality cream and milk and the freshest eggs for the best results.
- Keep an eye on the ice cream as it churns. Over-churning can lead to a more icy texture, while under-churning may result in a too-soft ice cream.
