No Cook Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Recipe

With my teenage stepson in the house, my homemade ice cream is very popular! There’s pretty much never not a batch in the freezer… or in the concept phase. He’s unfortunately grown up with the severely limited Danish selection of flavors, and only found out about chocolate chip cookie dough this past summer. I know! Can you imagine?

I’ve actually made homemade chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream for him, which was no small feat in a country where pre-made cookie dough doesn’t exist!

One of my latest creations was this no cook mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe. For some reason, mint always seems wintry to me, and with dark chocolate, it seemed a perfect winter holiday flavor. Since I can’t buy chocolate chips in Denmark, I chopped up some dark chocolate instead.

No Cook Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Recipe

 2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup coffee cream*
1/2 cup milk
2 t peppermint extract
5-6 oz dark chocolate, chopped

Whisk the eggs for a minute or two in a large bowl, until they’re light and fluffy.

Add the creams, the milk, and the peppermint extract, then whisk it for another minute or two. You can also add a few drops of green food coloring here, but I prefer its natural color.

Process the mixture in an ice cream maker for 45 minutes to an hour, adding the chocolate during the last 10 minutes of processing.

Voila! You’ve just discovered the perfect no cook mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe ; -)
