Ingredients

  • A generous amount of freshly picked mint leaves, to your liking
  • Rich milk
  • Sweet white sugar
  • A hint of vanilla extract
  • A touch of salt
  • Luxurious heavy cream
  • Mini chocolate chips, for added crunch

Step 1

Combine fresh mint leaves, creamy milk, sweet sugar, fragrant vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend the ingredients together on high speed until the mint leaves are finely chopped, which should take roughly a minute. Next, pour in the rich heavy cream and blend until the mixture is smooth and consistent, which usually takes about 15 seconds.

Step 2

Once the mint ice cream base is ready, transfer it into an ice cream maker. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and let it churn for approximately 20 minutes. For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle in chocolate chips during the last 5 minutes of freezing.

Step 3

After the ice cream reaches the desired consistency, scoop it into an airtight container. Place the container in the freezer and allow the ice cream to set completely, which usually takes around 4 hours. This will enhance the flavors and ensure a deliciously creamy texture when serving.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your mint leaves fresh by storing them in a glass of water like a little mint garden on your kitchen counter.
  2. 2. Freeze any leftover mint leaves in an ice cube tray with a splash of water for a refreshing twist in your drinks.
  3. 3. Store your homemade mint ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer, making sure to cover the surface with a piece of parchment paper to prevent ice crystals from forming.
