How to Make Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, gently combine the heavy cream, milk, mint extract, and salt.
  4. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the cream mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-30 minutes).
  6. Once churned, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
