Dear Readers (that means the two of you),Please go out and get an ice cream machine as soon as you can so you can make this recipe.
2 cups mint leaves, roughly chopped
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup dark chocolate, roughly chopped
In a saucepan, bring milk, cream and mint leaves to near boil. In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and vanilla.
Add a a few tablespoons of warmed milk mixture to eggs/sugar. Careful not to cook your eggs. Whisk in warm liquid quickly.
Then start adding eggs/sugar to milk/cream/mint, stirring constantly.
Let cook at medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. The mixture will thicken.
Once thickened, pour into bowl and cool overnight in refrigerator.
Pour into ice cream machine the following day. Allow ice cream machine to do its work for 20 minutes, then add chocolate.
Then freeze for another few hours, and it's ready to serve.

Mmmm...this sounds good. I was just at Mehan's yesterday and she was wondering what to do with all of her mint leaves that she's grown. May I pass your recipe along?
Please pass along :) It's delicious.
Ooh, ooh! I am one of your two readers. This does look yummy. The simplicity of fresh, natural ingredients is always a plus and my wife has been longing for the ice cream-making days of her youth. We're on it!
