This has been my favorite recipe for mint choc chip ice cream. Depending on your tastes, and the brand of the extract, you may want to use a bit more or less, start with 1/2 teaspoon and taste it. You can also replace some of the chips with crushed oreo pieces. Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream |
1 cup milk |
1/2-3/4 teaspoon mint extract |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 tablespoons powdered milk |
1/2 cup sugar |
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
3 -5 drops green food coloring (optional) |
1 pinch salt |
Directions:
1. whisk together milk, sugar, and milk powder.
2. Add cream, extracts, salt, and food coloring.
3. Pour the milk-cream mixture into ice cream machine and process according to manufacturer's instructions.
4. While the ice cream is in the machine, put 1/4 cup chocolate chips into a blender or food processor and chop until mixture is crumbly.
5. Set aside.
6. In the last 5 minutes of the cycle, add in the chopped chips and 1/4 cup of the whole chips.
7. Microwave the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips until melted.
8. When the ice cream is finished, quickly swirl in the melted chocolate, spoon into freezable container, and allow to freeze for 20-30 minutes, depending on desired consistency.
9. (NOTE: when i microwave the chocolate, they melt but stay still look like chips, you have to stir them to see if they're melted all the way through.).
