no churn mint chip ice cream
Cool and refreshing, a sweet treat for hot summer evenings.
Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Freezing Time 4 hours hrs
Total Time 4 hours hrs 15 minutes mins
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract (DO NOT USE MORE THAN THIS)
- 2-3 drops green gel food dye (optional)
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream on high speed until firm peaks form, about 5-6 minutes. "Firm peaks" indicates that the whip stands on its own when the blade is remove.
With the mixer running on low, pour in the condensed milk, vanilla, peppermint, and food coloring. For a deeper green, add another drop or two. Increase the speed to medium and whip until very smooth.
Layer 1/3 of the ice cream into a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle 1/3 of the chopped chocolate. Repeat the layering twice more, ending with a sprinkle of chocolate. Cover the pan with foil and freeze at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
Serve scoops in a bowl, a waffle cone, sugar cone, or just nibble straight from the container. Mmm!
