FROZEN CHOCOLATE MINT DESSERT
"This is adapted from my great-aunt's recipe for grasshopper pie. It came about by accident, as I put in too much mint extract. To cut the mint taste with something gooey and chocolaty, I ended up flipping the whole pie upside-down on top of a brownie crust." Sarah Newman - Brooklyn Center, Minnesota

FROZEN CHOCOLATE "FRANGO" MINTS
This recipe came from our yacht club news letter. We don't have a sailboat there anymore, but we are still members. I don't care so much about what's in the flier except for the recipes! This one is really nice, but must remain frozen. We use the name "Frango" loosely around this area. True Frangos were developed and sold by the now out-of-business local Frederick & Nelson Dept. Store. We miss them. I'm thinking of using orange extract, raspberry extract, there are many possibilities! This recipe calls for 18 cupcake liners, which in my opinion would make for HUGE Frangos, so I used candy foil liners. It will make about double if candy liners are used!

Steps:
- Using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add melted chocolate and continue beating until thoroughly mixed.
- Add egg yolks and beat again until fluffy.
- Beat in peppermint extract.
- Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon cookie crumbs into candy liners and top with chocolate mixture.
- Freeze for at least 1 hour. Serve straight from the freezer and re-freeze leftover. You can top these with maraschino cherries, crushed candy canes, even whipped cream, but not necessary. (For a more decadent dessert, serve in pre-made chocolate shells instead of candy liners.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped or grated so that it melts smoothly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to melt the chocolate and butter. This will help prevent the chocolate from scorching.
- Stir the chocolate and butter constantly while melting to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Add the mint extract and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture for a delicious flavor boost.
- Chill the chocolate mixture for at least 2 hours before churning it in an ice cream maker. This will help the ice cream set properly.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the chocolate mixture in a covered container for at least 4 hours, stirring it every hour to break up the ice crystals.
- Garnish the ice cream with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings for a festive touch.
Conclusion:
This frozen chocolate mint dessert is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, refreshing mint taste, and creamy texture, this ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this frozen chocolate mint dessert a try!
