I made my last ice cream recipe (Dark Chocolate Ice Cream) for my mom, so this time around, I am making Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream for my dad!
I feel like Mint Chocolate Ice Cream can be a pretty divisive flavor, but my dad loves it, so it’s about time I made him some!
This is a pretty simple recipe and does not require you to heat the milk mixture or add in eggs. It does still require overnight refrigeration of the mixture to get it nice and cold before churning.
This recipe also includes some food coloring to get a nice mint green color, but that is completely optional (my dad swears the green mint chocolate chip ice cream tastes better!)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon peppermint extract (paid link)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon green gel food coloring, optional
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
