This mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe is one that I discovered by accident. I think the 2% milk makes the ice cream taste lighter.
Ingredients
- 2% milk: 2 cups
- heavy cream: 2 cups
- sugar: 1 cup
- vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- peppermint extract: 1 tsp
- salt: 0.5 tsp
- drops green food coloring: 3 piece (optional)
- miniature semisweet chocolate chips: 1 cup

Stir milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, peppermint extract, and salt together in a large bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Mix in green food coloring.

Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

Add chocolate chips about 10 minutes into the freezing. Continue churning until ice cream has thickened, about 20 minutes more.

Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
