Green Pea Ice Cream

• 3 eggs
• 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar
• 200 ml (3/4 cup) whole milk
• 300 ml (1 1/4 cups) liquid cream
• 700 g (1 1/2 lb.) shelled Peas
• 1/2 bunch mint
  

 Preparation Method

• Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil; add the peas and cook for 8 minutes.


• Drain, and then plunge them immediately into ice water to stop the cooking and set their bright green colour.


• Drain again; smash the peas in a blender, then put through a strainer to obtain a fine puree.


• Place in the refrigerator.


• Bring the milk and cream to the boil. Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until the mixture is foamy.


• Gradually add in the milk and cream, whisking constantly.


• Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring with a spatula in a figure-8 pattern.


• The mixture must not boil. Cool and refrigerate.


• When the cream is cold, add the pea puree and combine well.


• Put the mixture into an ice cream maker to freeze until it attains the consistency of ice cream.
