Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Gradually add a little of the warm cream mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
3
Gradually pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the cream mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
4
Continue to heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
6
Once the mixture has cooled, cover it and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
7
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
8
During the last 2 minutes of churning, add the dark chocolate chips and continue to churn until they are fully incorporated.
9
Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place the container in the freezer to harden for at least 2 hours.
