Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
A fan favorite, this recipe creates the ultimate mint chocolate chip ice cream. Bits of chocolate compliment the smooth mint flavor, bringing together tastes of a superb dessert.

- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup crème de menthe liqueur
- ½-1 tsp pure mint extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk eggs with sugar until light and fluffy. An electric mixer makes the whisking much quicker. Add milk, cream, liqueur, and mint extract (and food coloring if using).

- To freeze, follow the manufacturer’s instructions on your ice cream maker. Mine takes about 20-30 minutes.
- Once frozen, you will need to place in a deep freezer for 2-4 hours for a hard freeze. Ice cream freezers can only achieve a soft-serve consistency.
