Mint ice cream

Icelanders love mint chocolate, almost as much as licorice chocolate! And there are tons of Icelandic mint and mint chocolate recipes!

The mint chocolate "Pipp súkkulaði með mintufyllingu" from the Icelandic company Síríus is particularly common, but there are others too.


Ingredients for the mint ice cream

4-6 sprigs of fresh mint
3 eggs
3 Tbsp sugar
100 g whipping cream
250 ml vanilla skyr
100 g peppermint chocolate


Preparation

Wash the branches thoroughly in cold water, dry them with kitchen paper, pick off the leaves and chop them carefully.

Separate the eggs.

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until foamy.

Whip the cream until stiff.

Roughly chop the peppermint chocolate and fold it into the egg yolk and sugar mixture along with the cream, skyr and chopped mint.

Finally, beat the egg white until stiff and fold in carefully.

Then pour the ice cream mixture into a mold or small molds and let it freeze in the freezer for at least 2 hours.

Here we enjoyed the mint ice cream with delicious chocolate-mint cookies !
