Jeremy's favorite ice cream is mint with oreo pieces, but we can usually only find mint chocolate chip - soooo not as good! So we decided to try our hand at making our own and it turned out wonderfully! If you have leftovers and you freeze it overnight, the ice cream will actually have the consistancy of store-bought ice cream.
Mint Oreo Ice Cream
4 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp mint extract
2 cups half and half
1/3 pkg mint creme filled oreo cookies, broken into bite-size pieces
In large bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick. In saucepan over medium heat, bring the half and half and mint extract to a simmer, without letting it come to a full boil. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the saucepan while beating continuously. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until cream coats the back of a spoon (it should be about 170F on a candy thermometer). Let cool completely and refrigerate until cold. Mix in oreo cookies and pour mixture into ice cream maker.
