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!
