Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 250 ml milk

• 14 Confectionery (After Eight)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

made in the ice cream maker

Combine 200ml of cream and 250ml of milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, melt the 14 After Eights in 100ml of hot milk and set aside. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until frothy. Gradually pour the hot milk and cream into the egg yolks and beat vigorously for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is nice and fluffy. Then carefully stir in the melted After Eight milk. Chill the whole thing in the fridge for about 1 hour. Whisk 100ml of cream until semi-stiff. Finally, mix the cooled mint-chocolate mixture with the semi-stiffened cream and pour directly into the ice cream maker. The finished ice cream should then be frozen for one hour before eating. Tip: If the ice cream is not suitable for children, you can stir in peppermint liqueur if you like. Because of the alcohol content, the mixture should then be cooled in the freezer for about 1 hour so that the ice cream mixture freezes better in the ice cream maker.
