Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe is super easy to make without an ice cream maker. Simply whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, and fold in sweetened condensed milk, mint extract, green food coloring (optional), and the chocolate of your choice.
I used Andes mint baking chips for extra mint flavor, but mini chocolate chips, or a chopped up chocolate bar work great too!
Pour the ice cream mixture into a freezer safe container, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and freeze until solid. I like our ice cream a little soft still, as you can see in the pictures. It will freeze completely solid, so no worries about that.
Mint or Peppermint for Mint Ice Cream?
When I think of mint chocolate chip ice cream, I automatically think of the “green” mint — spearmint or cremé de menthe. You may use either peppermint or (spear)mint to flavor this recipe, since you are making it at home. Use which ever is your personal preference.
My kids absolutely love mint chocolate chip ice cream! This no churn version is even easy enough for them to make.
