MINT-COOKIE ICE CREAM MADE WITH GIRL SCOUT THIN MINT COOKIES



Mint-Cookie Ice Cream Made with Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies image

Turn the Girl Scouts' best-selling cookie into a refreshing frozen treat with this recipe. For an extra dose of minty goodness, use any extra cookies to build mini ice cream sandwiches.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
2 bunches fresh mint
Pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
8 large egg yolks
1 cup coarsely chopped Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies

Steps:

  • Combine cream, milk, mint, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Immediately remove from heat and let steep at least 1 hour and up to overnight, covered, in the refrigerator.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and yolks; set aside. Remove mint from cream mixture; discard mint. Bring milk mixture just to a simmer. Using a measuring cup or ladle, slowly pour about 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Continue adding milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, until it has all been added.
  • Pour mixture back into saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your finger. Pour through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Stir occasionally until cooled. Cover and transfer to refrigerator until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Pour custard into a 2-quart ice cream maker; add chopped thin mints and process according to manufacturers' instructions until set but not hard.
  • Transfer the soft ice cream to a loaf pan, cover and freeze at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

MINT COOKIE ICE CREAM MADE WITH GIRL SCOUT THIN MINT COOKIES
TIPS:
  • For a smoother ice cream, use a blender or food processer to make sure the cookies are finely crushed.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processer, you can crush the cookies by hand by putting them in a plastic bag and using a meat mallet.
  • If you don't have any almond extract, you can use vanilla instead.
  • Make sure the milk and cream are very cold before you start making the ice cream. This will help the ice cream to freeze faster and smoother.
  • If you have an ice cream machine, follow the instructions in your owner's manual to make the ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream machine, you can still make the ice cream by freezing it in a covered container for at least 1 hour, stirring every 30 minutes.
  • Serve the ice cream immediately, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:

This Mint Cookies ice cream is rich, creamy, and refreshing. It's the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day. The cookies add a delicious minty and chocolaty flavors and texture. This ice cream is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
