Ingredients

2 cups Heavy cream
1 can Sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon Mint extract (a little goes a long way, add more to taste)
1 cup Chocolate, chopped or chips
4 drops Green Food Coloring (optional)

Instructions

Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on high speed.
Mix Condensed Milk and Flavorings: In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, mint extract, and green food coloring if using. Stir until well blended.
Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Add Chocolate: Fold in the chocolate evenly throughout the mixture.
Freeze: Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap or a lid, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

Prevent Ice Crystals: Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before sealing.

Label It: Add the date to your container so you remember how long it’s been in there. I like to do this with blue painters tape and a sharpie.

Easy scooping: Let it sit at room temp for 5 minutes before scooping.

Container choice: For feeding a family, I like freezing the ice cream in a loaf pan. Alternatively, I freeze these in 4oz portion cups for an easy grab and go snack (this also avoids the constant “she got more conversation”)
