PEPPERMINT MOCHA CHIP ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Gently beat eggs.
• Combine milk, sugar and eggs in large saucepan.
• Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats spoon (160°); about 15 minutes. (I tend to watch the clock more than the temperature.)
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in creamer.
• Chill.
• Pour into ice cream maker and prepare according to directions.
• In the last few minutes of ice cream freezing add 1 Cup of chopped Andes Mints (or whatever the timing your ice cream machine directions suggests).
• Notes.
• I have an ice cream maker attachment to my KitchenAid mixer and would recommend the attachment to everyone. I took a standard and easy ice cream recipe and modified it to fit my tastes. If you would like to make plain vanilla add 2 Cups of 1/2 n 1/2 and 1 T vanilla instead of the creamer. If you want to make it a little less minty you could add 1 C of mini-chocolate chips instead of the Andes Mints.
