...is homemade chocolate mint ice cream.
It doesn't take much hands on time or effort or skill to make. You don't even need an ice cream maker. You just need lots of patience and about 24 hours.
I normally don't have much patience, but for ice cream I do (though I did many, um, "tastings" while the ice cream was still a cream, actually a custard). Anyway, there are four steps, but you need to do lots of waiting and cooling between steps. First, infuse the cream with mint. Second, reheat the cream and make a custard. Third, cool the custard in the fridge (overnight). Fourth, freeze the custard while stirring every hour or so.
So easy. And so good. I should have tried making it sooner, but for a long time I had a fear of custards. I don't know why people consider ice cream so unhealthy. It's 99% milk, chocolate, sugar, cream, and egg yolks. Carlos drinks milk with chocolate and honey (as in chocolate milk with extra sweetener) every morning for breakfast. Almost the same thing. And unless you are the type who cannot start a pint without finishing it (you know who you are), one batch lasts for about five days for two people.
Now, what flavor should I make next week?
