  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1-2 drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped dark chocolate (about one and a half 3.5 oz bars, or chocolate chips)

Instructions

  1. Chill the Bowl: Place your mixing bowl in the freezer until it is completely cold. This helps the heavy cream whip up better.
  2. Whip the Cream: Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of mint extract and 1-2 drops of green food coloring if desired. Using a hand mixer with a whisk attachment or a hand whisk, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat; soft peaks have a small peak with a curled tip when the beater is lifted out.
  3. Fold in Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream. Gently fold it in by cutting through the middle to the sides of the bowl with a spatula and carefully folding the mixture onto itself until evenly combined with only a few small streaks remaining.
  4. Add the Chocolate: Gently fold in 1 cup of coarsely chopped dark chocolate using the same folding technique to maintain airiness in the mixture.
  5. Freeze the Ice Cream Base: Transfer the ice cream mixture to a freezer-safe container. Cover it tightly with an airtight lid or plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until firm.
  6. Serve: If frozen very solid, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for several minutes before scooping to soften. Serve in bowls and enjoy your creamy no-churn mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Notes

  • Be careful not to over-whip the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
  • Green food coloring is optional and used only to give the ice cream a traditional minty color.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate or chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • This recipe does not require an ice cream maker, making it perfect for beginners.
  • Allow the ice cream to soften slightly at room temperature for easier scooping.
