Mint Chip Ice Cream Ingredients

• Heavy cream – The colder the better.
• Sweetened condensed milk – Also cold preferrably.
• Mint extract – Not Peppermint extract.
• Green food coloring (or more if desired)
• Milk chocolate chips – I like to use good chocolate Ghirardelli chips.

For exact measurements, please see the recipe card below.

No Churn Ice Cream Supplies

• Mixing Bowls
• Hand mixer or stand mixer
• Rubber spatula
• Loaf pan

How to Make Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Do not over whisk.

Once soft peaks are formed, add milk, and mint. Mix slowly to avoid splashing over.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of food coloring. Fold in gently. Add more if you desire greener.

Fold in milk chocolate chips.

Pour mixture in a bread pan and freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight.

What is the Best Chocolate Chips to Use

To make the most of your chocolate experience, use good quality chocolate.

I like to mix semisweet and milk chocolates together for an amazing flavor in every bite!

Ghirardelli chips are my go-to whenever I bake. However, you can also chop your own chocolate from a bar or block.

Mint Extract vs Peppermint Extract

While mint extract (think thin mints) is harder to find than peppermint (think candy canes), there is a huge difference.

Mint extract is the way to go if you’re looking for a less intense flavor.

Peppermint extract contains significantly more menthol, which gives it a much spicier taste than plain Mint Extracts do.

If you are unable to find mint extract and can only find peppermint extract, use less than what the recipe calls for.

How Long Can I Store The Ice Cream

Ice cream is a delicious dessert that tastes best within the first two weeks of making.

After that, it begins to harden and get covered with ice crystals.

Be sure to keep the ice cream covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Recipe Variations

There are additional items that you can add to the Mint Chocolate Ice Cream recipe to make it even better (in my opinion!)

• Chopped mint Oreo cookies – You can either mix these in after chopping them up or just add them to the top for extra mint flavor.
• Andes Mint candies -You would do the same with these as you do with the mint Oreo cookies. Chop them up and mix them in before freezing or just add to the top.
• Chocolate Syrup – Drizzle chocolate syrup on the top before freezing or before eating.
• Whipped Cream – For added flavor, whip up a batch of homemade mint whipped cream. Before whipping the heavy cream, add a 1/2 teaspoon to it for a fun minty whipped topping.

The menthol added to an otherwise hot day can be refreshing when you need something cool and creamy after being out in summer heat all morning long.
