Minty Fresh

Who doesn't love icecream?

Well i decided id try make my own! I dont own an icecream maker so had to make it by hand which was far easier than i thought and tastes just like shop bought!

I made mint chocolate chip and o my was it yummy! So heres how i made it!

Ingredients (Serves 8 supposably)

♥ 500ml double cream

♥ 500ml full fat or semi skimmed milk

♥ 200g chocolate chips

♥ 200g caster sugar

♥ teaspoon vanilla extract

♥ teaspoon mint extract (i used peppermint)

♥ green food colouring (optional and anount depends on how green you want it)

Method

♥ first find a freezer proof dish preferably with a sealable lid! Rinse with cold water and put into freezer (water drops help it to freeze faster)

♥ now theres 2 ways you can do the next bit either mix all the ingredients together at once or whisk the cream till thick and add the rest in bit by bit either way works perfectly 

♥ poor cold water and ice into a bigger bowl or pan than the one your mixture is in and sit rhe bowl in the "ice bath" for about half an hour to cool the mixture

♥ poor the mixture into the frozen dish and put into the freezer make sure the lids closed or it spills everywhere

♥ take the mixture out and stir every half hour to an hour npt only does it get air into the mix but also helps all the choc chips from sinking to the bottom

♥ should take a good few hours till its ready but if your impatient like me it tastes nice after 2hours just not as solid

Bon appetite
