Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a large mixing bowl and electric mixer beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes to ensure the cream whips quickly and efficiently.
- Pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl and begin whipping with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add peppermint extract and a few drops of green food coloring (if using). Stir gently to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Roughly chop the chocolate chips and fold half of them into the ice cream base, reserving the remaining chips for topping.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the surface of the ice cream.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
Tips
- • Freeze your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand to help the cream whip faster and more efficiently. • Use pure peppermint extract for the most authentic flavor - avoid mint flavoring. • For extra indulgence, use high-quality dark chocolate chips. • If you want a more intense green color, add food coloring gradually to achieve your desired shade. • Make sure to cover the ice cream tightly when freezing to prevent ice crystals from forming. • For best texture, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. • This recipe is incredibly versatile - feel free to experiment with different mix-ins like crushed candy canes or Oreo cookies.
