Ice cream recipe

I love eating.

I’m a big fan of cakes and ice creams. I love cheese flavour for cake and mint flavour for ice creams. But I have tried cakes combine with ice creams and its heavens!! The way the ice cream melts in my mouth, mint flavour combined with plain cake with cheese topping…oh it is so delicious and I could not get enough of it! I do not know the easy way to bake a cake and I only know where to buy ice creams. But today I’m going to tell you a simple recipe of fresh mint chocolate chip ice cream.

                

Ingredients

2 cups loosely packed mint leaves

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons whole milk

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

2/3 cup sugar

4 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons cream cheese, room temperature

Kosher salt 1 

3.5-ounce chocolate bar

Directions

Wash and drain mint leaves. Bruise the leaves using so that they soften and release some of their oil. Set aside.

Combine 2 cups of whole milk, heavy cream, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium/high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add the mint leaves to the warm milk. Cover and let steep for 25 minutes, then strain out the leaves.

In a small glass, combine 2 tablespoons of milk and the cornstarch. Stir vigorously to create slurry, and then stir slurry into the mint-milk mixture.

Return saucepan to the heat and bring to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat.

Stir together the cream cheese and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the hot milk mixture and whisk until fully combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until cool.

While the base is chilling, chop the chocolate bar into small pieces. Place chocolate chunks in a plastic bag and chill in the freezer until ready to use.

When base is completely cool add it to an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Stir in the chilled chocolate pieces. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.

I found this recipe while browsing through ice cream recipe. I like this recipe because it use natural mint leaves to blend the mint flavour in the ice cream. Well I am sometimes picky in foods but that is just precautions to prevent from food poisoning. I hope you guys really try this recipe and enjoy your ice cream!
