If you like After Eight, you will definitely love this ice cream with chopped mint chocolate. Real dark cooking chocolate gives it a rich, full chocolate flavour – and it is quick and easy to make.

The beauty of homemade ice cream is that you can experiment with exactly the flavours you want. Recipe and video by Kristine from Det søte liv (detsoteliv.no).

How to make chocolate ice cream with After Eight

1. Melt the chocolate
   Put 1.5 dl of the cream in a saucepan. Break up the dark chocolate and melt it in the cream over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
2. Whisk the yolks
   Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
3. Fold in the cream
   Whip the rest of the cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the chocolate mixture.
4. Churn
   Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and let it run for 60 minutes.
5. Add After Eight
   Chop the After Eight mints and add the pieces when there are approx. 10 minutes left.
6. Serve
   The ice cream is now ready! For a firmer ice cream, transfer it to a container and freeze for approx. 2 hours (or longer). Serve with some extra After Eight.

Tips:

• This is quite a large batch – you can easily halve the recipe.
