Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Fresh mint leaves steeped into a silky egg-yolk custard give this ice cream a cool, garden-real mint flavor — pale celadon rather than neon green, and worlds away from toothpaste. Instead of waxy store-bought chips, warm melted chocolate is drizzled into the churning ice cream so it shatters into paper-thin flecks that snap and then melt on your tongue. The custard base takes patience (steep, chill, churn, freeze), but every stage is simple and the payoff is scoop-shop texture at home.
