Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup of the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
-
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1 cup of cold milk until smooth.
-
Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
-
Fold the mint-chocolate chips into the custard base until evenly distributed.
-
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or individual ramekins.
-
Place the dish(es) in a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the custard dish(es).
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
-
Remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully chilled and set before serving.
