Ingredients

2/3 cups Sugar
2 whole Eggs
2 Tablespoons Flour
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1-2/3 cup Milk
1 cup Heavy Cream
3 drops Pink Food Coloring (optional)
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Directions

1

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the sugar into the eggs until thick and pale yellow. Beat in the flour and salt. Set aside. Bring the milk to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Slowly beat the hot milk into eggs and sugar, a little at a time. Pour entire mixture back into the pan over low heat. Stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until custard thickens slightly. Be careful not to boil or your eggs will scramble. Remove from heat and pour hot custard through a strainer into a large clean bowl and allow hot custard to cool a little, then stir in heavy cream, food coloring (if using) and extracts.

Stir the chilled custard and pour into an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's directions. Give it 5 minutes and add Junior Mints. Let it churn until ready to eat. When finished, it will be soft, but you can transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze at least 2 hours.
