I made mint chip ice cream!

[elfs]

I totally blew my diet today, but it was worth it. I made mint-chip ice cream. Cream, sugar, and mint leaves all heated to 170F, whisked, then chilled and pressed through a strainer, heated back up and made into a custard with egg yolks (a lot of egg yolks), then chilled back down to near-freezing, put into the ice cream stirrer and hardened. Then I scooped spoonfuls of the ice cream into a chilled bowl, drizzled melted dark chocolate onto the spoonful, then added more.

Five ingredients. 100% organic. Utterly delicious. The family ate it all up.
