Ingredients

• Ingredients
• 2 cups 2% milk
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 3 drops green food coloring (optional)
• 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
In a large bowl, stir together the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla extract
and peppermint extract until the sugar has dissolved. Color to your liking
with the green food coloring.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the
manufacturer's instructions. After about 10 minutes into the freezing, add
the chocolate chips. After the ice cream has thickened, about 30 minutes
later, spoon into a container, and freeze for 2 hours.
*Next time I will make a few changes 1)Add only 1/2 tsp vanilla 2)add
about 3/4 tsp peppermint 3)will shave the chocolate rather than chop it (so
the chocolate will actually melt in your mouth when you eat it)...and these
changes are for personal tastes only. Even as the recipe stands it really is a
refreshing, minty ice cream. Super after a heavy meal
