This easy-to-follow recipe will have you whipping up scrumptious batches of mint chip ice cream in no time. The process is quick and painless. you can be eating this frozen treat within an hour!

Mint chip ice cream is one of the best flavors of ice cream out there. It's cool, refreshing, and has a nice subtle flavor. The best part about it is that it's super easy to make and doesn't require a lot of ingredients. In fact, all you need are only two ingredients: milk and heavy cream, chocolate chips, and mint extract (or peppermint extract).

The best part is that you can control how much mint flavor your recipe contains by increasing or decreasing the amount of extract you use. To make this recipe, you will need to prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and then adding some ice cubes to it. Fill up another bowl with cold water from the tap.

Put your metal mixing bowl in the first bowl and place both bowls in the freezer for at least an hour. If you want to keep this dish for more than 3 days after making it, wrap it tightly with plastic wrap before putting it into the freezer so that no air and no smell get in contact with it. And be sure not to let any condensation get on top of your dish either.

Now we're ready to start cooking! Take the bowl out of the freezer and put all your ingredients inside. Use a hand-held mixer or electric whisker to mix until combined, but don't overmix! Over-whipping will cause too much air to be incorporated into the mixture, which would result in light, fluffy ice cream.

When it's done being mixed, pour it onto a chilled platter covered with wax paper and then put it back into the fridge for 30 minutes or until set. After 30 minutes have passed, take it out again and using a spatula dipped in cold water loosen around the edges of the iced cream until you can flip it over onto its serving plate without smearing.

Why this recipe is the best?

This is the best mint chip ice cream recipe you will ever taste. The ice cream itself is made with a mixture of cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Then it's mixed with crushed peppermint candies and green food coloring. This recipe has become my go-to for family celebrations because it's always a crowd-pleaser.

For example, last time when I prepared this ice cream as one of our holiday desserts to share with friends and family. It was so popular that many people asked me for the recipe after they tried it! The key to making great ice cream at home is using quality ingredients. If you're worried about finding the right kind of chocolate for this recipe, don't be worried.

Dark chocolate works great in most recipes like these. If you have time before making the ice cream, prepare by melting chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium heat until smooth and use less than what's called for in the recipe (which usually amounts to about 3/4 cup). Once melted, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the base of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

Recipe No:1

Ingredients:

• Butter unsalted = 1/2 cup
• Light Brown sugar = 1 and 1/2 cups
• Corn syrup or dark corn syrup = 3 tablespoons 
• Vanilla extract = 1 teaspoon 
• Heavy cream = 2 cups
• Semisweet chocolate chips = 8 ounces 
• White chocolate chips or chunks = 10 ounces 
• Fresh mint leaves = For garnish (optional)
• Mint ice cream cones = For serving 

Method of Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it's creamy. Then add some brown sugar and beat this mixture until well combined. You can beat the corn syrup with vanilla extract.

2. Add the heavy cream in two batches, mixing on low speed until it is just incorporated before adding more; scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the semisweet chocolate pieces or chunks at this time too if you haven't already done so when mixing in your two batches of heavy cream like I had told you before this step.

3. Mix in half of the package of white chocolate chips now if you have not done so already as I said earlier in the post.

4. Place plastic wrap over top and refrigerate for four hours or overnight, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens slightly. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.

5. Serve with fresh mint leaves as a garnish alongside mint ice cream cones.

Instructions For Making Mint Chip Ice Cream:

This recipe is based on the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Fudge Pudding recipe. The only thing I changed was adding a little extra sugar to balance out the flavor of the chocolate chips and substituting peppermint extract for vanilla.

Recipe No:2

Ingredients:

• Whole milk = 1 cup
• Heavy cream = 1 cup
• Salt = 1/4 teaspoon
• Sugar = 1/2 cup
• Molasses = 1 tablespoon
• Semisweet chocolate = 6 ounces
• Light corn syrup = 2 tablespoons
• Butter unsalted = 1 tablespoon
• Peppermint extract = if required
• Green food color = two drops

Method of Preparation:

Pour the milk into a saucepan and whisk in the salt and sugar. Scrape any bits from the bottom of your pan before you turn it on to medium heat.

When bubbles form around the edges of the pan but not at its center, remove them from heat. Stir in chopped chocolate until it melts completely, be careful not to let it burn.

Add corn syrup (if using) and whisk vigorously until smooth about 30 seconds more than usual as there will be some lumps from both ingredients as well as from melting them together with such high heat.

Add the butter and stir just until it melts and is incorporated. Remove from heat again, and add the peppermint extract, depending on how much you like mint along with drops of green food coloring if desired. Let it cool in the room before keeping it in the refrigerator. 

The ice cream can also be made without corn syrup, but just know that when you're stirring in the chocolate after cooking everything else your batter might have some lumps that need to be smoothed out with an immersion blender or other handheld mixer. let it cool down and refrigerate for about 3 to 4 hours and enjoy.

You can't go wrong with this classic, no-frills recipe for mint chip ice cream. The only thing better than the taste of this creamy dessert is the way it looks in a dish or in a cone when you're serving it. For best results, let the ice cream freeze for at least six hours before scooping and serving. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• Whole milk = 1 cup
• Sugar = 1/4
• Egg yolks = 3
• Green food color = few drops (optional)
• Vanilla extract = 1/2 teaspoon
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips= 8 ounces
• Corn syrup = 1 tablespoon

Method of Preparation:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the milk to a simmer. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until they are well combined.

Add some of the hot milk to the eggs while whisking constantly to temper them so that they don't cook from direct contact with the hot liquid.

Once mixed, pour back into the saucepan with the remaining hot liquid and continue stirring until thickened.

Add in vanilla extract and stir to combine. Pour mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate for 2 hours until cooled completely before adding any other ingredients.
