Häagen-Dazs Mint Chip Ice Cream Recipe (Copycat)

Instructions

1. Infuse Mint Flavor (Optional):
   In a saucepan, combine milk and fresh mint leaves. Heat until steaming, then remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain and discard mint leaves.
2. Prepare Custard Base
   In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale. Slowly add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 170°F or 77°C). Do not boil.
3. Combine and Chill
   Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Stir in heavy cream and peppermint extract. Add food coloring if desired. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight
4. Churn the Ice Cream
   Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. In the last few minutes of churning, add the chocolate chips.
5. Freeze
   Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
