Step 1
Blend the mint leaves, milk, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt on high speed. Keep going until the mint is finely chopped and everything is well combined, which usually takes about a minute. Then, pour in the heavy cream and give it another quick blend until it’s all smooth, about 15 seconds.
Step 2
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and let it churn following the machine’s instructions—this usually takes around 20 minutes. When there are about 5 minutes left, toss in the chocolate chips so they get mixed in nicely. Once the ice cream is ready, transfer it to an airtight container and pop it in the freezer for a few hours until it’s nice and firm. Enjoy your refreshing treat!
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve in small bowls or cones topped with fresh mint leaves or dark chocolate shavings. Pair it with fruit like berries or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. It also goes well alongside a warm brownie or cookie.
Leftover Tips
Store in an airtight container in the freezer to prevent ice crystals. For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. Consume within two weeks for optimal freshness.
