Strawberry Mint White Chocolate Ice Cream
Our ice cream should be minty. However, I think mint I added wasn't enough. We didn't taste mint. Other than that, the ice cream was very delightful. A lot of fresh sweet summer strawberry flavors!
Before making this, I read an article of The Trouble With Strawberry Ice Cream: How to Nail the Trickiest Dessert by Serious Eats. I agreed with their points and adopted their recipe. I made some changes, though. I used some sugar to maturate fresh strawberry bit mix-ins along with a generous amount of Cointreau, but replaced all of the other sugar with Agave syrup. Because of this change, I reduced the amount of light corn syrup. I didn't have half and half, so mixed heavy cream and low-fat milk, 1:1. Moreover, our homemade cream should be minty. I warmed up the milk-cream mixture and added mint leaves to extract a minty flavor. However, because I believe the mint leaves weren't enough, we didn't taste any mint in the ice cream. I also added some chopped white chocolate in the ice cream, but it wasn't enough either. Although we were able to find white chocolate here and there in the ice cream, J wanted more.
