Paul, You are a star. Thank you. What choc would you suggest though.

Nathan.

Hi Nathan, Ooo! I love home made mint choc chip so here goes.
This is my recipe but there may be others on the website.
For 1 litre of ice cream
12 egg yolks
500mls milk
500mls double cream
250g caster sugar
100g chocolate chips
peppermint oil
handful of fresh mint.

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
Bring to the boil the cream and milk together with the fresh mint.
Pour the boiled milk over the egg mixture and whisk well.
Strain through a sieve into a bowl and cover with clingfilm and leave to cool thoroughly.
Place in an icecream machine and churn until smooth and frozen or -
Place in a tupperware container, place in the freezer and whisk well every 30 minutes until thick and smooth.
Now add chocolate chips and a drop or two of mint oil and mix well.
Freeze the icecream for a futher 1 hour and serve.

Hope this helps
