Peppermint (or Candy Cane) Ice Cream

2 eggs
3⁄4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp spearmint extract
3/4 tsp peppermint extract
1 small pkg of starlight style mints
Whisk eggs and sugar together, transfer into a heavy-bottom
sauce pan with whipping cream, milk, and extracts. Heat over low
to med-low heat until the mixture thickens, stirring slowly and
constantly.
Transfer to a glass bowl to allow it to cool down to close to
room temperature, cover and place in the fridge for at least 2
hours (overnight works too).
While the batter is chilling out, place mints in a ziploc bag
and use a rolling pin to crush but not powderize. How many mints
you use is an eyeball thing compared to how many you want in the
final given the amount of batter you've made.
Sprinkle the crushed bits of mints on a cookie sheet lined with
parchment paper, and place in the freezer.
When your batter is chilled, pour into your ice cream maker, and
run according to the directions on your ice cream maker. Add the
mints about 2 minutes before the ice cream is done. If you
prefer, you can fold in after, but I like letting the ice cream
maker do it for me. Transfer to containers and place in freezer
for at least 4 hours (or, just add to your pie shell before
placing in freezer).
