Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup of the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1 cup of cold milk until smooth.
  4. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
  5. Fold the mint-chocolate chips into the custard base until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish or individual ramekins.
  7. 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).
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully chilled and set before serving.
