Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
A 7-ingredient recipe for mint ice cream with mini chocolate chips, made in an electric ice cream maker
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon green gel food coloring optional
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- To make the ice cream base, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, sugar, peppermint extract, salt, and gel food coloring, if using, in a large bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. If your ice cream maker requires you to do so, add in your ice cream maker bowl to your freezer.
- The next day, remove the mixture from your fridge and your ice cream bowl from your freezer.
- Add the ice cream bowl to the ice cream maker and pour in the cream mixture.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the ice cream (mine took about 15 minutes) until it resembles soft serve ice cream.
- Add in the mini chocolate chips and churn for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the chocolate chips are evenly incorporated in the ice cream.
- Scoop the mixture into a freezer safe container.
- Add to your freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
