EASY homemade Mint chip ice cream

No raw eggs, no cooking, no complicated ingredients. Just YUM!

2 cups whole milk (or half and half if you prefer)
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1 ice cream maker

Pour the milk (or half and half) into a bowl and whisk in the sugar until well blended.

Gently whisk in the whipping cream and peppermint. Don't whisk the whipping cream too much or it will turn into weird butter stuff.

Take the canister of your ice cream maker out of the freezer, assemble and turn the maker on.

Pour the mixture into the canister as it's spinning.

While it's going, roughly chop up the chocolate chips.

After 15 or 20 minutes, pour the ice cream into a bigger bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.

Try to refrain from eating the whole thing so you can freeze overnight because it's even better the 2nd day.


*Note: You can also make cookies and cream ice cream with this recipe. Just substitute a teaspoon of vanilla instead of the peppermint and chop up a bunch of oreos instead of chocolate chips. Equally yummy!
