How to Make Simple Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole milk, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1-2 teaspoons peppermint extract (adjust to your preference) until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Add a few drops of green food coloring, if desired, and stir until evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for churning.
  4. About 10 minutes into the churning process, gently add 1 cup of your favorite chocolate chips.
  5. Once the ice cream maker has completed its cycle, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours to allow it to harden further before scooping and enjoying!
