Categories     Chocolate     Mint     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons powdered gelatin
3/4 cup skim milk
1 cup granulated Splenda
One 17.6-ounce container nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon organic peppermint extract
Green food coloring
1 ounce high-quality 99% unsweetened chocolate, such as Scharffen Berger, chopped fine

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup of the milk. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/4 cup milk with the Splenda, and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the hot mixture into the bowl, and whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
  • Whisk the yogurt into the gelatin mixture. Whisk in the peppermint extract and a drop or two of the green food coloring, enough to achieve the desired color.
  • Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the mixture is nearly frozen but still slightly soft, add or stir in the chopped chocolate. Serve immediately, or transfer the yogurt to a sealed container and freeze up to 2 days.

Categories     Dessert     Freeze/Chill     Quick & Easy     Yogurt     Healthy

Yield 4-6 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup / 240 ml heavy cream
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons / 130 ml brown rice syrup
Scant 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
2 cups / 480 ml whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 ounces good quality dark chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Coarsely chop the mint leaves and put them in a saucepan with the cream. Bring just to a simmer over medium heat, occasionally stirring and pressing the mint leaves so that they release the oils. As soon as it comes to a simmer, add the brown rice syrup and stir to combine, then turn off the heat. Leave the mixture on the stove top to steep for 30 minutes. Pour the cream mixture into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves. Add the peppermint extract and yogurt to the bowl and whisk to combine. Cover the mixture and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. Churn the yogurt mixture in an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. When the yogurt if finished churning, stir in the chocolate (hs note: alternately, I usually drizzle in just-melted chocolate instead of chopped). Serve immediately (recommended!), or transfer to a covered container and store in the freezer, where it will firm up increasingly over time.
