How to Make Light Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup egg substitute, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon mint extract until well combined.
  2. Add 1 cup half-n-half and 1 cup milk to the bowl. Stir gently until fully incorporated.
  3. Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  5. About five minutes before the ice cream is finished churning, gently fold in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Once churning is complete, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up further before serving. Enjoy!
