In preparation for my birthday BBQ, Funsize wanted to make ice cream, so we did. Initially, she had wanted to make four different types, but we eventually compromised on just this one, which is a second entry from my "I Love My Ice Cream Maker" book.
As is to be expected from ice cream, this one is easy to make: it’s a custard base, then let it cool, add the mint flavouring and choc chips, and then churn in the ice cream maker.
Slightly disconcertingly, my ice cream maker overheated part way, so we had to complete the freezing in the freezer. But it was close enough to being done that that was fine.
Taste wise, this was exactly as you’d expect: minty, with chocolate chips. In terms of colour, though, it’s a light brown, not at all green. Mostly because we added a colourless mint flavouring and didn’t add the nugget of purest green that would have given it the expected colour.
But it’s lovely, and we made it, and that’s that. I certainly plan to have this again.
