No Churn Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream – The easiest mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe ever! Made with just 5 simple ingredients, this ice cream tastes so good!
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
I can’t get enough of this mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe! Not only is it delicious but it’s also a beautiful and brightly colored dessert that is perfect for a hot summer day. Made with just 5 simple ingredients – heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, mint extract, chocolate chips, and green food coloring – it doesn’t get any easier to make than this.
Make sure to leave yourself enough time before you plan on serving it, I like to make it a day ahead and let it freeze overnight so that no one ends up with a bowl of ice cream that didn’t set correctly. The only other major pitfall is just make sure that you are using sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk! Seriously, evaporated milk will not work and this is a common mistake people make when making homemade ice cream. Apart from that, this is such an easy recipe to make!
