So...I improvised and made my favorite - mint ice cream!\" &lt;strong&gt;Get the recipe at &lt;a href=\"http://www.foxeslovelemons.com/2013/08/true-mint-ice-cream.html\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Foxes Love Lemons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; \"We\u2019ve adapted Bon Appetit\u2019s basic ice cream custard to make the most fabulous Mint Chip Ice Cream around.
