Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream

Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream

Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream

Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream is eggless and no churn. Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream is all natural green, no artificial color. Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream is a perfect summer treat for all.

Basil mint is my one of the favorite ice-cream combination and believe me you gonna also love it. It’s a real crowd pleaser! It’s also in my top list as this green combination makes ice-cream healthier and naturally heat beater.

I’ve used blanched herbs in this recipe which apparently bring out the flavor, and the wilting certainly makes managing such a large quantity of herbs easier. You can also adjust the cream and milk ratio as long as you use two cups total. For an incredibly rich ice cream, use all cream. If you prefer the ice cream a bit lighter, use a mixture of half cream and half milk.

Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream

Ingredients:

• 2 cup Heavy Cream
• 1 cup Whole Milk + ¼ cup Extra
• ¾ Cup Sugar
• 2-3 tbsp Custard Powder or Tapioca Starch
• ¼ cup of Fresh Mint Leaves
• ¼ Cup of Fresh Basil Leaves
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• ¼ cup of Chocolate Chips
• 1-2 drops of Green Food Color (optional)

Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream

Method:

1. Take a sauce pan. Add heavy cream, 1 cup milk and sugar. Bring it to the boil till all sugar dissolve properly. Turn the flame on low and stir it occasionally for 2-3 mins then switch of the flame.
2. Now take ¼ cup milk, add custard powder and mix it till it becomes smooth, make sure no lumps remain.
3. Add the prepared custard smooth paste into the milk mixture gradually. Add vanilla extract and mix it well.
4. Switch on the flame again, cook it for a 2 mins and then keep it aside to cool down.
5. Take another sauce pan and add 2 cups water. Once it starts boiling add basil and mint leaves. Blanch it for a min, strain it and then add blanched leaves into the icy cold water immediately.
6. Strain the leaves, blend it into the blender and make the smooth puree. Now using a fine strainer or cloth, pass the puree through it, so the small remains of the strand get removed.
7. Now add the stained herb puree into the cooled milk mixture. Add food color(opt.) and mix it very well using hand a mixer or whisker.
8. Pour the mixture into a plastic or glass container, cover it and place it into a freezer about 1-2 hrs.
9. After 1-2 hrs the mixture is getting little bit thick and harder. Add chocolate chips, fold the mixture with spatula, plain the surface of mixture, cover it and place it again into the freezer for 7-8 hrs or overnight till hard.
10. Basil Mint Chocolate Chips Ice Cream is ready. You can serve fresh and enjoy the flavorful summer treat.

    This looks delicious, cant wait to try it! Can I put it in my ice cream maker as well? Also, would it work with dairy free milks such as almond, cashew or coconut milks and creams?

Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropic Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito is a perfect tropical cocktail drink for hot summer days. It can be served with ice, lemon and mint leaves to make refreshing drink. I love summer only because of the tropical fruits, especially mango, passion fruit, lychee, pineapple, etc…The base of the drink is the simple ingredients. It goes well with any additions to change it to more complex cocktail.
