Whisk together the almond milk, egg yolks, honey, and chopped mint leaves in a sauce pan.
Warm over medium-high heat stirring constantly for 15 minutes, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Be careful not to let it boil.
Transfer mixture to a glass bowl, and let cool to room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Cover with plastic wrap, making sure to press the plastic wrap directly on the liquid, so there is no condensation. If water gets into the mixture, it will make your ice cream more “icy” rather than creamy.
Place in the refrigerator and chill until cold, at least 2 hours.
Remove the batter from the refrigerator and add ½ tsp (2.5 ml) of peppermint extract or a mint liqueur. The alcohol will help make the ice cream easier to scoop after freezing.
Strain the mixture to remove the mint.
Using your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, process the chilled ice cream mixture. If you want to get the green color that you so fondly remember from your childhood, add in a few drops of a green gel food coloring or purée a few mint leaves and add them to the mixture.
Remove the mixing device, and stir in the chocolate shavings (or topping of your choice) by hand.
Turn the ice cream into an air tight container.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the ice cream so freezer burn doesn’t occur.
Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
To serve, leave at room temperature for 15 minutes.
