Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

My husband and I are both big fans of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Every time I go to our local ice cream shop in the Summer I swear I’m going to try something new, but I can’t. I just love their Mint Chip Ice cream! What is really funny is I haven’t made a version of it at home. I’ve had an ice cream machine for 2 years now. That’s just odd. First, I didn’t have peppermint extract, then I didn’t have chocolate morsels. I’d see what I did have and make another flavor. I even made my Mint Andes Chip Ice Cream, which was very good. For my daughter’s birthday party I had my mind set on making mint chocolate chip ice cream. At 8:00 pm at night I started. I realized yet again, I didn’t have mini-morsels. What did I do? I took the regular ones and chopped them in half! Normally, I’d just deal with it, but this was for little kids and I didn’t want them to have to chew their ice cream. So, while this recipe is deemed “easy,” if you take my route it may not be!
This is a great recipe and there are no eggs involved so it is as simple as stirring a few ingredients together and popping it in your ice cream machine. Sounds simple and good to me! I normally don’t like the look of adding food coloring, but this was for a kids party and thought it would be fun, and easy to tell the difference between the chocolate chip ice cream!
When I told my daughter we were making ice cream, she immediately went and grabbed the stand mixer bowl! She knows they go together, but doesn’t realize there is a special attachment. I’ve been making mass amounts of ice cream for her upcoming second birthday party and she yells, “Ice cream” whenever she hears the stand mixer whirling.

once when trying to make mint chocolate icecream we bought mint extract and not peppermint extract. So our icecream though perfectly creamy tasted like gum. Haha. I guess I need to try again 🙂

Thanks for an easy recipe. Will try this without the chocolate chips, I always buy brands that have teeny tiny bits of chocolate as I prefer not to have large chips. UMMM, can’t wait.
