Mint chocolate chip is such a classic flavor and it’s easy to make at home. You’ll only need 4 ingredients and an ice cream freezer. Like my other ice cream recipes, this one requires no cooking.
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups half and half
1 tsp. peppermint extract
about 1/2 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate (I chopped up chocolate chips)
Mix everything but the chocolate chips together and pour into your ice cream freezer. Freeze it according to the directions on your freezer. Add the chocolate a few minutes before it’s done cranking. I like to let mine harden in the freezer before we eat it, but you can eat it straight from the ice cream freezer if you like it soft.
This makes enough for 1 Cuisinart counter-top ice cream maker. I have a Cuisinart Automatic Frozen Yogurt – Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker. If you have a regular ice cream freezer that uses salt and ice, you can double this recipe.

This looks so yummy! I love homemade ice cream…and what better kind then mint chocolate chip…YUM!
I had just got to get one of those ice cream makers! This has been my favorite flavor since I was little!
I picked up an ice cream maker last week, we LOVE it!!! We made chocolate ice cream with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, we were all fighting over the last scoop. I can’t wait to try the mint chocolate chip !!
This is my husband’s favorite ice cream. I think we will have to break out the ice cream maker for this recipe. Looks fantastic!

Visiting from SITS, That ice cream looks delicious!! That is my fave flavor! I’m going to have to try making this!
Happy SITs Day…nd I woudl love to taste that ice cream!
I always wished I could find mint chocolate chip ice cream *without* the chocolate chips, so I want to try making just the mint-flavored ice cream part of this recipe and see if it’s as good as I hoped!
This one is next on the menu. Silas was *just* asking me today if we could make mint chip.
Did this one last night and it was a hit! I think we’ll try plain mint, without the chips, next time … and there *will* be a next time.
