Fresh Mint and Dark Chocolate Custard Ice Cream
Inspired by techniques from Serious Eats and America's Test Kitchen.
A deep chocolate custard ice cream made the classic French way, but with fresh mint steeped into the dairy and chopped dark chocolate folded through at the end. Cool, herbal and properly chocolatey.
