This is a GREAT mint chocolate chip ice cream that I discovered by accident. The 2% milk makes the ice cream taste 'lighter' I think.

DIRTY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM

We have news for you. That supermarket mint chip ice cream with the nuclear-green color? It doesn't have any mint leaves in it. It has mint oil or fake mint flavoring, and that nasty color comes from artificial coloring. Real, fresh mint leaves give our Dirty Mint a fresh, cool intensity. Why is it "dirty"? Because we use brown sugar in the base, which gives the ice cream a deep caramel punch and a natural light brown color. It is also "dirty" because we don't strain out the mint. Leaving it in deepens the flavor the longer the ice cream is in the freezer. (Warning: This has been known to convert mint ice cream haters.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the ice cream will be. Use real mint extract, not imitation, and use high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Chill the ice cream base before churning: This will help the ice cream freeze more evenly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream until it is thick and creamy: This will take about 20-30 minutes. If you churn it for too long, the ice cream will become icy.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours: This will allow the ice cream to fully harden.
  • Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings: Such as whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh mint.

Conclusion:

Dirty Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
