Notes

  • Make Ahead: This ice cream can be made ahead and stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Adjust the mint flavor by adding more or less peppermint extract to your taste. You can also use dark chocolate chips instead of mini chocolate chips for a richer flavor or add a few crushed mint candies for extra texture.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the mint chocolate chip ice cream in cones, bowls, or as a topping for brownies or pie. It’s perfect for a refreshing dessert during the warmer months or a sweet treat after dinner.
  • Storage Tips: Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften before scooping if it becomes too hard.
