Nothing says summer like a scoop of ice cream! I love ice cream and have fond memories of my niece and I sitting at our grandmothers round kitchen table, stirring inside green plastic bowls of the frozen treat, making ice cream soup! It was our favorite. Our grandmother kept the gallon containers of ice cream in her freezer in the back room. We would eat it all the time.
So my love for ice cream goes way back. Through the years taste buds change and I ventured out from plain chocolate and vanilla with chocolate syrup to other flavors, and quickly found that mint chocolate chip is pretty darn tasty! Kelsie loves all flavors of ice cream she's ever tried, mint chocolate chip being one of her favorites. With food allergies, we can't buy very many varieties from the store, and mint chocolate chip was one of those that we thought we'd never see again. Until....one day on Pinterest, I'm completely obsessed! Are you following me? One of my favorite food allergy bloggers posted a recipe for a no churn mint chocolate chip ice cream, thank you so much Petite Allergy Treats! I had to modify hers since Kelsie is allergic to coconut, but the idea came straight from her. I never would have tempted it if it wasn't for Laura. And I tried the whole trying to get the color from spinach like she did, however my Ninja isn't nearly as great, and I couldn't get anything. Oh well, luckily I had all natural dye from India Tree.
Scroll down for a printable version.
What do you need?
2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
½ cup mini chocolate chips
green food dye until you get the color you want, we use India Tree because it's all natural
What do you do?
Put your heavy whipping cream into a bowl and beat until it’s almost whipped cream consistency.
In a separate bowl mix together your vanilla, peppermint, condensed milk, and chocolate chips until thoroughly incorporated.
Fold your condensed milk mixture into your heavy whipping cream.
Now add your green food dye, dropping and mixing until you get the color your looking for. (if using all natural you want be able to get a dark green)
Spread evenly into a freezer safe container.
Freeze for at least 6 hours.

YUM! My son's favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip too. He calls it the 'green ice cream' and he picks it every time 🙂 This is so simple but really yummy. I made one a few weeks back and added the mint oreos into the ice cream before I froze it. That probably would not work with the allergies, but we loved it. PINNING to try your version. I love the chocolate chips added in.
Joanna
Thank you so much for pinning! Your recipe sounds delicious! Of course oreos aren't allowed with the food allergies, however there is a brand, Back to Basics, that has an oreo style cookie that would be perfect. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your version because I think I need to make it!
Norma
I have peppermint chocolate chips so I am going to put these in instead of adding the peppermint extract.
Joanna
That's a great idea! Yum!

How is this even possible? No churn ice cream, yes please! I always find myself without a churn, and especially at this time of year there are so many fantastic ice cream recipes, I'm so happy there's one that I can try!
Joanna
I have a few others that are no churn as well you should check out. 🙂 I have a churn, but I usually forget to put the canister in the freezer, so the no-churns are my favorite!
Christine
Yay for no churn! Yay for ice cream! Yay for mint chocolate!! Looks soooo good! Thanks for the recipe!

Joanna
We love it!

Your ice cream looks delicious! I've made ice cream with condensed milk and whipped cream before, and it really gives a nice, creamy consistency. I would never have thought of trying it with mint chocolate. I must try! Thanks for sharing. #CookBlogShare

Yum! Thanks for sharing this ice-cream recipe Joanna! I love it for its simplicity. The food dye is just for looks, right? So I could make it without it if I wanted-although I really appreciate it that you used a natural food dye. Thanks for partying with us at Talented Tuesday! I definitely will be featuring this ice-cream recipe tomorrow! And of course *pinned. 🙂
Hope you are have a great summer so far Joanna!

Joanna
Thank you so much for featuring my recipe! 🙂 Yes, the dye is for looks, and almost didn't use it because the natural dyes are so expensive, but Kelsie wanted it green. 🙂
