The texture of this ice cream is perfect! Stick to the high end of peppermint extract if you want to be blown away by the flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 to 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- 8 to 10 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 2/3 cup coarsely chopped Oreo cookies (or Thin Mints or other mix-in)
Directions:
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl for 1-2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 more minute.
Add the cream and milk. Whisk to blend. In a medium saucepan, heat to 160 degrees F. Transfer to a bowl; cover and cool in the refrigerator for several hours.
Once cool, add the peppermint extract and food coloring. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker. Freeze following the manufacturer's instructions (25-30 minutes in our freezer).
After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chopped cookies. Continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.
