Thin Mint Ice Cream

I stole the idea for this from John, but since his recipe required patience (something I'm not known for) I opted to create my own, more immediately gratifying version. John's recipe can be found here. Either recipe gives you the chance to put cookies in a bag and bash them with a rolling pin and that's good stuff! Especially if you're having a bad week, which I was, which is probably why my cookies were more pulverized than crushed.

Kevin dubs this the best ice cream ever - high praise from a guy who claims not to like mint chocolate combinations.

Thin Mint Ice Cream
1 cup whole milk
2/3 cup half and half
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1/2 sleeve thin mint cookies, crushed
Mix everything but cookies together and whip with a wire whisk until foamy. Add mixture to ice cream machine and run machine for 15 minutes. Add cookies and continue according to your machine's instructions. Serve immediately or place in freezer until it reaches desired consistency.

It was the best until you made dulce de leche. Now that is the best. Did you blog it?

Nope, looks like I didn't blog it. Now we'll never have it again.
