Once heated and the sugar has dissolved, SLOWLY mix in 1/2 C of the cream mixture into the eggs; let stand a minute to ensure temperature, then return the egg mixture to the pot with remaining milk mixture. Set heat to low, and cook 8 Minutes until mixture coats the back of a spoon

Take the custard out of the refrigerator and pour into your ice cream maker. Follow the steps for your particular model.

Add crushed Thin Mint cookie pieces about 3/4 the way through your churning process.

If using a Cuisinart ICE-30BC, churn for 25 minutes, adding the cookies in at the 20-minute mark.

When the cycle has completed, transfer the ice cream to freezer-safe containers and store.
