Chocolate Mint Ice Cream

1 1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup mint chocolate chips
2 egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon salt


Combine 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, the milk, sugar and the mint chocolate chips in a saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring with a wire whisk, until the chips are melted and mixture is smooth.


Remove from heat. In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks and the salt until thick. Gradually add the chocolate mixture. Beat until well blended and chill 30 minutes. 


Pour the chilled chocolate/egg mixture into an electric ice cream freezer; churn until thick. Cover and store in freeze until ready to serve.
