How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Ice CreamThis Mint Ice Cream recipe requires just a quick 20 minutes of hands-on time!
What type of mint is used in Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream? Classic Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is made using pure mint extract, which uses spearmint rather than peppermint. Although you can use peppermint extract in a pinch, it has a much more potent flavor, so you may need to add less so the mint flavor doesn’t overpower everything else. Can I use fresh mint leaves instead? The answer is yes, but I haven’t tried so I can’t tell you how much. I find mint extract to be more reliable and easier to measure, so I usually use that. What chocolate to use: A good quality chocolate is key to take this ice cream to the next level! I like to use either finely chopped dark chocolate or mini chocolate chips. How to store: Homemade ice cream will last wrapped tightly and covered in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. Tips and Notes for Mint Ice Cream
