Beat the mixture together with the milk in a hot water bath until creamy. Stir well and don`t let it get too hot, otherwise the egg will freeze. Let the creamy mass cool down and stir in the peppermint syrup.
Whip the cream almost stiff, cut the after eight into pieces and fold both into the mixture.
Place the mixture in the freezer for approx. 20 minutes. Then transfer to an ice cream maker. In our ice cream machine, it was ready after about 45. I then filled the ice cream mass into a sealable plastic mold and put it in the freezer again for 2 - 3 hours.
