Ingredients

Mint Liquid

  • 1 oz Mint leaves removed from stem
  • ¾ cup Water
  • ¼ cup Sugar

Ice Cream

  • 6 Egg yolks
  • ¼ cup Confectioners sugar
  • 14 oz Condensed milk 1 can
  • 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
  • 3 drops Green food dye

Instructions

Mint Liquid

  • In a small pot/saucepan bring water to a boil. Add mint leaves and boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in sugar. Let the leaves soak in the pot for 15 minutes.
  • Blend the contents of the pot for 5 minutes and then strain through a fine sieve or muslin cloth.

Ice Cream

  • Make sure you have 2 large mixing bowls. In one bowl whisk the egg yolks and confectioners sugar until it is light and fluffy with a creamy color. Then add the condensed milk, mint liquid and chocolate chips.
  • In the second mixing bowl whisk the cream until soft peak.
  • Add the contents from the first bowl into the second, while gently folding the contents until they are well mixed. Don't mix vigorously as this will flatten the mixture.
  • Pour the ice cream mixture into a bread tin and place it into the freezer. This recipe yields 48 liquid ounces of ice cream.
  • After 2 hours, mix the ice cream in order to evenly distribute the chocolate chips then place it back into the freezer. Do this every 2 hours until the ice cream is frozen, which should take about 6 hours. If you avoid this step the chocolate chips will settle to the bottom of the ice cream.
