Description

This creamy and refreshing Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe combines the cool, invigorating flavor of mint with rich chocolate chips for a delightful homemade treat. No ice cream maker is needed, making it a simple yet indulgent dessert perfect for summer or any time you crave a cool, minty dessert.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 teaspoon green food coloring (optional)

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the cream forms stiff peaks. This whipped cream forms the creamy base of your ice cream.
  2. Add Color: Stir in the green food coloring gently until just combined to achieve a classic mint color without deflating the cream.
  3. Incorporate Sweetened Condensed Milk and Mint Extract: Fold the sweetened condensed milk and mint extract into the whipped cream gently to maintain the light texture and evenly distribute flavors.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Once the base is well mixed, carefully fold in the chocolate chips to add texture and bursts of chocolate flavor throughout.
  5. Freeze Overnight: Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan or silicone ice cream tub, wrap tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight freezer bag, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight to set the ice cream.
  6. Store and Serve: Keep the ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month. Scoop and serve chilled, enjoying the refreshing mint and creamy chocolate chip flavors.

Notes

  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whip the cream for best results.
  • Green food coloring is optional but adds a classic mint ice cream look.
  • For stronger mint flavor, adjust the mint extract amount to taste, but avoid overdoing it.
  • Stir gently to preserve the whipped texture and avoid deflating the cream.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with mini chocolate chips for more even distribution.
  • Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
