Ingredients

3 eggs yolks only
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons cocoa Mexican
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon extract
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Notes:  This recipe requires an ice cream maker.

Directions:  In a small bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar together.  In a saucepan over medium heat, slowly heat milk to boiling point, stirring occasionally.  While whisking, slowly pour egg mixture into milk and thoroughly mix together.  Turn heat to low and stir constantly until the mixture thickens and forms a thick film on the back of a wooden spoon.  Do not let it boil or the mixture will separate.  Remove pan from heat and let cool to room temperature.  When cool, transfer to a bowl.  Add cocoa and mix in thoroughly.  Finally mix in extracts and cream.  Refrigerate until cold, 1-2 hours.

To complete, follow the instructions for your ice maker.

Yields:  1 quart
