You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream

What is the 4th of July without homemade ice cream?

We took the vanilla recipe from our ice cream maker book and turned it into Mint Chocolate. I must say...delish!

Mint Chocolate:

2 cups whole milk

1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

4 cups light or table cream

2 T. vanilla

4 -5 sprigs of fresh peppermint leaves

1 large dark chocolate candy bar

Scald milk with mint leaves. Let sit for a few minutes, then remove leaves. Add sugar and salt to warm milk and stir until disolved. Add the cream. Stir in the vanilla. Cool. Turn into the ice cream maker - this took approximately 30 minutes. Then we stirred in the grated chocolate bar.

Enjoy!
