This is Heather’s favorite ice cream flavor. It’s also the one my grandkids ask for most often.

 

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

 

2 cups 2% milk

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 cup MINIATURE semisweet chocolate chips

 

In a large bowl, stir together the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract and peppermint extract until the sugar has dissolved. (You could add a few drops of green food coloring at this point, but I generally don’t. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. After about 10 minutes into the freezing, add the chocolate chips. (If you can’t find mini chips, you could always chop up regular ones.) After the ice cream has thickened (about 30 minutes), spoon into a container, cover and freeze at least two hours.
