Description

This refreshing No Cook Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream combines creamy heavy cream and whole milk with a hint of mint and chunks of rich chocolate. Made without baking or stovetop cooking, it’s churned in an ice cream machine for smooth, homemade ice cream with a perfectly cool, minty flavor and delightful chocolate bites. Ideal for a quick homemade dessert that can be enjoyed soft-serve style or fully frozen for scooping.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2¼ cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon mint extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon green food coloring (optional)

Add-ins

  • 1½ cups chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, mint extract, granulated sugar, salt, and green food coloring (if using) until the sugar fully dissolves to create your ice cream base.
  2. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the prepared mixture into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which typically takes about 20-30 minutes to reach a soft-serve consistency.
  3. Incorporate Chocolate: Once the ice cream is churned and frozen to your liking, remove it from the machine, then gently fold in the chocolate chunks to distribute them evenly throughout.
  4. Serve or Freeze: Serve the ice cream immediately for a soft-serve dessert, or transfer it to a sealed container and freeze overnight to achieve a firmer, scoopable texture.

Notes

  • Use an ice cream machine for best results; no cooking is required for this recipe.
  • The green food coloring is optional and can be omitted if you prefer a natural appearance.
  • For a stronger mint flavor, you can slightly increase the mint extract but avoid overpowering the vanilla.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered in the freezer for up to 1 week for optimal freshness.
  • Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping if it’s too hard after freezing overnight.
