Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 3 eggs
  • 75 grams caster sugar
  • 300 ml milk
  • 284 ml double cream (whipped)
  • 3 tablespoons creme de menthe
  • 50 grams chocolate drops

Method

  1. Place the eggs and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk until pale and frothy.
  2. Heat the milk to just below boiling point and pour over the eggs. Continue stirring over the hot water until thickened. Remove and cool.
  3. Fold the cream into the custard, and then stir in the liqueur.
  4. Pour into a strong plastic container with lid, cover, seal and freeze for 4-5 hours, until there is about 5 cm of solid ice cream around the sides.
  5. Transfer the ice cream to a food processor and work until soft. Add the chocolate drops and process for 5 –10 seconds.
  6. Return to the freezer until firm. Transfer to the refrigerator 30-50 minutes before serving to soften.
