Steps:
- Coarsely chop the mint leaves and put them in a saucepan with the cream. Bring just to a simmer over medium heat, occasionally stirring and pressing the mint leaves so that they release the oils. As soon as it comes to a simmer, add the brown rice syrup and stir to combine, then turn off the heat. Leave the mixture on the stove top to steep for 30 minutes. Pour the cream mixture into a bowl through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the mint leaves. Add the peppermint extract and yogurt to the bowl and whisk to combine. Cover the mixture and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight. Churn the yogurt mixture in an ice cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions. When the yogurt if finished churning, stir in the chocolate (hs note: alternately, I usually drizzle in just-melted chocolate instead of chopped). Serve immediately (recommended!), or transfer to a covered container and store in the freezer, where it will firm up increasingly over time.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP FROZEN YOGURT
Steps:
- In a large bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup of the milk. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/4 cup milk with the Splenda, and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour the hot mixture into the bowl, and whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
- Whisk the yogurt into the gelatin mixture. Whisk in the peppermint extract and a drop or two of the green food coloring, enough to achieve the desired color.
- Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the mixture is nearly frozen but still slightly soft, add or stir in the chopped chocolate. Serve immediately, or transfer the yogurt to a sealed container and freeze up to 2 days.

Tips:
- Use fresh mint. Fresh mint leaves provide the best flavor for this recipe. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried mint, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Don't overbeat the yogurt mixture. Overbeating will make the frozen yogurt icy. Beat the mixture just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Chill the yogurt mixture thoroughly before churning. This will help the frozen yogurt to churn more quickly and smoothly.
- Don't churn the frozen yogurt for too long. Overchurning will make the frozen yogurt tough. Churn the frozen yogurt just until it is thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
- Add the chocolate chips at the end of churning. This will prevent the chocolate chips from becoming too hard.
- Freeze the frozen yogurt for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the frozen yogurt to firm up and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
This fresh mint chocolate chip frozen yogurt is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add other mix-ins, such as nuts, fruit, or candy, or you can simply enjoy it plain. No matter how you choose to serve it, this frozen yogurt is sure to be a hit!
