FRESH MINT ICE CREAM

I am indebted to my friend David Lebovitz for the method in this ice cream. He is a master ice cream maker, and his trick for leaving aside a cup of cream to quickly cool the hot custard really works well.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup whole milk
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 packed cups of mint leaves
2 cups of heavy cream
4 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Put the milk, salt, sugar and 1 cup of the heavy cream in a pot and heat over medium-low heat, stirring often, until everything combines. Add the mint leaves and stir to get them all wilted in the hot milk. Turn off the heat, cover the pot and let the milk return to room temperature. When it hits room temperature, chill overnight in the fridge.
  • The next day, strain the mixture through a fine-meshed sieve. It's OK if a few tiny mint leaf specks get in there. Reheat the mixture over medium-low heat. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl. In another bowl, pour in the other cup of heavy cream and set the fine-meshed strainer over it.
  • When the mint-cream mixture is hot, about 150°F, you are ready to temper your eggs. With one hand whisking the eggs, slowly pour in a ladle of the hot cream. Do this three times total, whisking and pouring the whole way. Then pour the egg-cream mixture into the pot and stir to combine.
  • Cook the mixture slowly, stirring often, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 160°F. Pour it through the strainer into the bowl with the other cup of heavy cream; doing it this way cools the mixture quickly. Chill everything down and churn according to your ice cream maker's directions.

Time 3h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
6 large egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Finely chop mint leaves; an easy way to do this is to add the milk and mint leaves together in a blender and allow the blender to do the work for you.
  • Place milk and mint in a medium saucepan, bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and cover for 30 minutes.
  • Mix the cream into the milk and mint mixture and set aside.
  • Place egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl and whisk for 3 minutes.
  • Gradually beat the milk mixture in with the eggs, and then transfer back into the saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. Do not boil.
  • Strain the custard into a clean bowl. Cover with saran wrap and place in refrigerator until cool.
  • Once cold, transfer to an ice cream maker and follow your manufacturer's instructions. If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can place mixture in freezer. Then you must remove the mixture every 20 mins and beat well with a wooden spoon to break up any ice particles.
  • Enjoy!
