Herbs and Mint and Ice Cream, Oh My!

I grow many herbs in my garden, peppermint (below) and spearmint are among them.

I like to use fresh herbs to freshen all of my cuisine creations, and they seem to pair exceptionally with ice cream.

 

Who knew exotic flavors of ice cream would be all the rage in the big cities…?

 

One of my favorite ice cream flavors is not particularly exotic, Homemade  Dark Chocolate Mint Ice Cream!

Homemade Dark Chocolate Mint Chip Ice Cream Recipe

 

 

Here’s a neat recipe for you to try:

 

Homemade Dark Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Recipe

1 can of coconut milk
1/4 cup raw honey
2 egg yolks
2 ounces 72% dark chocolate
4 – 5 drops of peppermint essential oil, or a teaspoon pure peppermint extract
2-3 drops of green food coloring (optional)

Place coconut milk and honey in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk until blended.  Add peppermint extract and optional food coloring.  Stir.

Whisk two egg yolks in a separate bowl. Temper the yolks by adding a small ladle of hot mixture, stirring continuously so as to not “cook” the eggs. Add a second ladle to egg mixture. Once combined, pour this back into the saucepan and stir everything together. Refrigerate until completely cooled.

Follow the directions on your electric ice-cream mixture as each one may be a little different. I put the freezing cavity in the freezer overnight and the ice-cream mixture in the refrigerator overnight and then blend in the morning for about 30 minutes.

Note:

Add the chocolate about halfway through the blending process.  You can use chocolate chips for this recipe.  We recommend these dark chocolate chips, allergen free, vegan, organic and non-GMO.
