Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream- Lowfat

 

Very good!
 

1½ cups 

 

2% lowfat milk, divided

 

¼ cup 

 

granulated sugar

 

1 cup 

 

fat-free sweetened condensed milk

 

3 large 

 

eggs

 

1½ tsp 

 

peppermint extract (or to taste)

 

½ cup 

 

chocolate chips, chopped

 

 

1

Beat eggs with sugar until pale, yellow and foamy.

2

Heat 1 cup of milk slowly until it reaches a simmer. Gradually beat in milk with egg mixture. Return to heat.

3

Heat slowly, while stirring, until mixture slightly thickens (coats the back of a spoon). Be careful... don't heat too quickly or you'll end up with scrambled eggs!

4

Strain egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl. Mix in condensed milk, remaining ½ cup milk, and peppermint extract.

5

Refrigerate mixture until completely chilled- at least 8 hours.

6

Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. When slightly thickened, add chocolate chips. Freeze until ready to serve.

 

Yield: 1 quart

 

 Cooking Tips

*Be sure to use peppermint extract and not spearmint.

**As with all ice cream recipes, they will turn out best if the base is thoroughly chilled (at least 8 hours), and if the insert is completely frozen (24 hours or more).
