Ingredients

  • large egg yolk 
  • cups mint leaves fresh loosely packed
  • cup cup heavy whipping cream 
  • ounces bittersweet chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 0.8 cup sugar 
  • cups milk whole

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • ladle
  • whisk
  • sieve
  • ice cream machine

Directions

  1. In large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar.
  2. In heavy medium saucepan over moderately low heat, stir together milk, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and mint.
  3. Heat until steaming but not boiling, then remove from heat.
  4. Ladle about 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent eggs from cooking, then slowly stir the egg mixture back into the hot milk, whisking constantly.
  5. Place over low heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat back of spoon (finger drawn across spoon will leave clear path), 5 to 6 minutes total (do not let boil or custard will curdle). Strain through fine-mesh sieve into large bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids.
