Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
When Karen and Todd came to visit we made this yummy treat. It was really a shame we waited until the last night they were here because there were lots of leftovers for me!
- 2 cups milk 2%
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 drops green food coloring
In a large bowl, stir together milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract and peppermint extract until the sugar has dissolved. Color to your liking with green food coloring.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After about 10 minutes into the freezing, add the chocolate chips. After the ice cream has thickened (about 30 minutes later), spoon into a container and freeze for 2 hours.
