Kimmyh - DS5 would like to give you a big hug and kiss karonjulie. He loved this (and so did the rest of us) and thinks it is the best ice-cream I have made. Thanks for a great recipe that's very similar to store bought. Have been told I must make this again.

Wonder - Wow, I made this tonight but fortunately only put half the amount of essence as mine must be stronger than the average. Hopefully it will tone down a little once I add the chocolate in as at the moment it's way too strong.

Cookie1 - If it doesn't tone down perhaps you could make another batch without the essence and mix the two.

Wonder - The chocolate toned it a little bit but it is still too strong for me. It was a request by DD and she thought it was great so hopefully it won't get wasted.

Bedlam - Just made this one, pleased I read your comment wonder. Only needed a few drops of my essence also.  My kids favourite shop bought.

BZB - Made this ice-cream for DS11 - the only mint lover in the house. He likes it.

Sounds very delicious.   

Wonder if you could break thru some Aeros or peppermint crisps at same time as the chocolate?

ohhh yes even yummier LOL - not to mention the kilojoules!

[Thermomixer]

LOL - it always seemed to be less of a problem with calories - now you eat 4 times as many kilojoules - IT'S NOT FAIR !!!

Just when I'm giving some thought to losing a few kilo's you have to come up with something like this......thanks

DS5 super happy. He has been begging me to make this flavour for ages. Looks like this is the next icecream we are making

The chocolate toned it a little bit but it is still too strong for me. It was a request by DD and she thought it was great so hopefully it won't get wasted. This was the first proper icecream I made in the new ice cream maker and it was great. I put the hot custard straight into the machine and it churned for about 70 mins and it was the consistency of very thick soft serve. dD and DH both had a bowl straight away.

I've lost track of how much of this ice cream DD ate during her exam period, I think she survived on it. She likes me to use a teaspoon of the essence but it's too overpowering for the rest of us. I would really like to try the recipe but use fresh mint infused in the milk rather than the essence.
