Mint Ice Cream, Philly-style




Source of Recipe


the web


Recipe Introduction


8-12 servings



List of Ingredients




3 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon peppermint extract
creme de menthe
green food coloring (optional)
chocolate-mint candy bars, roughly chopped, as desired (I like to go heavy on the 'chips')


Recipe



Heat cream until just beginning to bubble around edges.
Immediately remove from heat and add sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
Once cooled to room temp, add the peppermint extract, and a small splash of crème de menthe (be careful not to add to much! If you do, add a little cream or milk into the mixture.).
If desired, add enough food colouring to give this a delightfully retro, min-green hue.
Refrigerate overnight.
You can chill it for just a few hours until very cold, but it the texture is superior if allowed to chill overnight.
Add to ice cream maker and freeze; when partially set, pour in the chocolate-mint pieces.
