Unbelievable Healthy Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Machine Recipe

This ridiculously creamy, dreamy Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is possibly the best you'll ever have! We've tweaked a popular online recipe to perfection, omitting artificial food coloring for a naturally delicious mint flavor. We've also boosted the peppermint extract and swapped semisweet chocolate chips for crushed Andes mints (freezing them beforehand makes chopping a breeze!). Letting the flavors meld overnight is ideal, but a minimum of 4 hours chilling will do the trick. The best part? This ice cream stays wonderfully soft and creamy in the freezer for days, unlike other recipes that get icy. Perfect for holidays, or any day you need a decadent, yet healthy-ish treat! Try it with crushed peppermint bark for an extra festive crunch!

How to Make Unbelievable Healthy Andes Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Machine

In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and peppermint extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the crushed Andes mints and gently fold them into the mixture. (Pro-tip: Freeze the Andes mints for easier chopping!)
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, churn the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
For an extra festive touch, consider adding crushed peppermint bark before freezing.
