Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Recipe
Description
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is made by mixing whole milk and whipping cream with granulated sugar and a pinch of kosher salt for balance. Vanilla and peppermint extracts provide a cool, vibrant mint flavor. Green food coloring is optional and used to achieve a traditional mint ice cream hue. Chocolate chips are stirred into the mixture before it is churned in an ice cream maker according to the machine's instructions.
The ice cream is ready as a soft serve directly from the maker or can be transferred to an airtight container and frozen for several hours or overnight to firm up. The chocolate chips give texture contrast against the smooth, creamy base.
