Ingredients
- 4 large egg lightly beaten, yolk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups milk whole
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3-4 drops green food coloring
- 6 ounces dark chocolate , chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs well.
- In a medium saucepan add the rest of the sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla bean paste, and salt on medium heat.
- Whisk non-stop and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
- Add 1/2 cup vanilla bean mixture in a very slow thin stream to the egg yolks while whisking quickly (do not stop whisking).
- Pour the egg/chocolate mixture back into the pot slowly while whisking constantly.
- Cook until mixture is thickened, about 8-10 minutes (do not let boil, or milk will taste scalded).
- Turn off heat and pour into a metal bowl or other heatproof bowl.
- Let cool completely, then refrigerate (covered) for 2 hours.
- Whisk food coloring into the custard.
- Stir in chocolate chunks.
- Add custard to your ice cream maker (per machine instructions) then freeze for at least 3 hours to harden before serving.
