One of my boys favorite ice creams is mint chip.
I know it’s a hotly debated flavor, but we are firmly team mint chocolate in this house and we are proud of it.
We love it and had to try our hand at making our own no churn version of the treat.
It does not disappoint!
It has all the flavors you love, and it’s so fun to make at home.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Heavy cream– There’s no substitute for this. Make sure it’s nice and cold.
- Sweetened condensed milk– Use store bought or make Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Peppermint extract– Make sure it’s peppermint and not spearmint
- Dark chocolate– Finely chopped. You could also sub dark chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips.
- Green food coloring– Optional but fun!
How to Make
Like other no churn ice creams, this recipe is super simple to make and doesn’t require any specialty ice cream makers.
To do it, whip the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Then fold the condensed milk and the peppermint extract into the whipped cream.
If you are using food coloring, stir in a couple of drops of food coloring at a time until you get the shade of green you are aiming for.
Lastly, fold in the majority of the chocolate pieces, setting aside a few.
Transfer the mixture into a 9×5 inch loaf pan and top with the remaining chocolate pieces.
Freeze for 6 hours or up to overnight.
Storing
You can keep no churn ice cream in the freezer in an air tight freezer safe container for up to a month.
Tips and Tricks
- Not all mint chip ice creams are green, so if you’d prefer to leave out the food dye that’s totally ok.
- If you’re planning to, or need to, freeze the ice cream for more than 6-8 hours, cover it with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
- Don’t have dark chocolate? You could sub miniature chocolate chips or even chopped up York Peppermint Patties.
