Zubereitung von Mint Ice Cream
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar and 4 large eggs until the mixture is pale yellow and thickened.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup cornstarch and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 2 cups heavy cream over medium heat until it simmers.
- Slowly pour the hot heavy cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
- Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon, until the custard thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and pour the hot custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. This removes any lumps.
- Let the custard cool slightly. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring (adjust to your desired shade).
- Cover and refrigerate the custard until completely chilled (at least 4 hours or overnight).
- Once chilled, churn the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- For firmer ice cream, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for several hours after churning.
- **Optional: After-dinner mint ice cream:** Add 1/2 cup chopped chocolate-covered mint candies to the ice cream maker when the ice cream is almost frozen. Let the machine mix in the candy.
- **Optional: Grasshopper pie ice cream:** Add 1/2 cup white crème de cacao to the custard before freezing. Add 1/2 cup crushed chocolate wafers to the ice cream maker when the ice cream is almost frozen. Let the machine mix in the wafers.
