DIRTY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM
We have news for you. That supermarket mint chip ice cream with the nuclear-green color? It doesn't have any mint leaves in it. It has mint oil or fake mint flavoring, and that nasty color comes from artificial coloring. Real, fresh mint leaves give our Dirty Mint a fresh, cool intensity. Why is it "dirty"? Because we use brown sugar in the base, which gives the ice cream a deep caramel punch and a natural light brown color. It is also "dirty" because we don't strain out the mint. Leaving it in deepens the flavor the longer the ice cream is in the freezer. (Warning: This has been known to convert mint ice cream haters.)

EASY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM
This is a GREAT mint chocolate chip ice cream that I discovered by accident. The 2% milk makes the ice cream taste 'lighter' I think.

Steps:
- In medium saucepan, bring cream and chopped mint to a simmer. Turn off heat, and let steep 5 minutes. Strain out mint, and return cream to saucepan.
- Add 3/4 cup sugar to cream, and bring to a simmer. Whisk together egg yolks and remaining sugar. Remove cream from heat, and add a little to egg mixture to warm, stirring constantly to keep yolks from cooking. Pour egg mixture into cream, stirring constantly. Return custard to heat, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture thickens enough to coat back of spoon. Remove from heat, and pour into bowl. Cool completely.
- Strain custard, then chill until thoroughly cold, at least 4 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare mint chips. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler over simmering water. Cool slightly. Lay a 12-by-24-inch sheet of parchment paper on a work surface. Pour melted chocolate onto parchment, spreading evenly to cover entire surface. Lay mint leaves onto chocolate until half the surface is covered, being careful not to overlap. Lift parchment, and lay plain chocolate over mint-covered chocolate to cover. Place in refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
- Remove chocolate from refrigerator, and peel off parchment. Break chocolate into large pieces, and then roughly chop. Refrigerate until needed.
- Freeze ice cream mixture in an ice cream maker, following manufacturer's instructions. Using a spatula, fold in chocolate mint chips by hand. Place in freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE
With just a 9-by-13 pan, a spoon and four store-bought ingredients, you can make an ice cream cake that's creamy, crunchy and fudgy in every bite. It starts with crushed chocolate-mint cookies that are covered with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Next, it's topped with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, with their cakey cookies and vanilla ice cream. Follow that with more mint chip ice cream, and you've made a six-layer cake without breaking a sweat. Feel free to experiment here: Swap out the mint cookies for snickerdoodles, pretzels or broken waffle cones, and the mint-chip ice cream for coffee, peanut butter or strawberry ice cream - or any combination that sounds good to you. Slice the cake into pieces big or small, then drizzle them with hot fudge or Magic Shell. This cake serves a crowd, but you can halve the ingredients and build it in an 8-by-8-inch pan for a smaller group.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with two layers of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Open all of the ice cream containers. Place one 1 1/2 quart (or 3 pints) on the counter and let soften until it resembles thick cake batter, 5 to 10 minutes; you'll use this ice cream first. Place the other containers in the refrigerator to soften while you build the first half of the cake. (Ice cream will reach the desired consistency in the refrigerator in 20 to 30 minutes.)
- Scatter the crushed cookies in a thin, even layer across the bottom of the pan. Spoon the first softened container of ice cream over the cookies and spread into an even layer. Press down as you go to adhere the ice cream to the cookies. If at any point the ice cream is melting to liquid, pop the cake and ice cream in the freezer to firm to a spoonable consistency.
- Place the pan in the freezer while you unwrap the sandwiches. Top the ice cream with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, cutting some as needed to fill the layer to the edges.
- Spoon the remaining ice cream over the top and spread into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
- To serve, use the plastic overhang to remove the cake from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve with a drizzle of hot fudge or Magic Shell. If you're finding the cake too solid to cut, don't wait for it to soften: Warm your knife by running it under hot water and wiping it dry between cuts.
