CREME DE MENTHE BARS
his is a very easy recipe. My son won a purple ribbon (which is higher than a blue ribbon) at the county fair when he was 10 years old. This was also his first paid 'catering' job for a graduation party when he was 12 (he's married now, so that gives you a clue as to how long I've had this recipe). Great brownies with a mint flavored filling.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the crème de menthe. A good-quality crème de menthe will have a rich, minty flavor that will shine through in the gelato.
- Make sure the crème de menthe is cold before adding it to the gelato base. This will help to prevent the gelato from becoming icy.
- Churn the gelato according to the manufacturer's instructions. Over-churning the gelato will make it tough and grainy.
- Once the gelato is churned, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the gelato to fully set and develop its flavor.
- When serving the gelato, scoop it into bowls or cones and top it with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for crème de menthe gelato include chocolate chips, whipped cream, and fresh mint.
Conclusion:
Crème de menthe gelato is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its creamy texture and minty flavor, crème de menthe gelato is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
