Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Freeze the ice cream bowl; it is very important that it is completely frozen. Begin by adding the milk and sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix with a whisk until all of the sugar dissolves. Add in the extract, food coloring, and the heavy cream. Assemble your ice cream maker, and turn it on, adding in your mixture. The mint leaves and chocolate chips can wait until the very end.

Let the mixer spin for at least 30 minutes. Add in the chocolate chips and mint leaves about 25 minutes into mixing. Place the bowl back in the freezer, in my case, overnight. Scoop and and enjoy. I will admit that this was really great ice cream and we ate it for breakfast the following day. A perfect texture, and the flavor that you would expect from mint chocolate chip ice cream, with the subtle surprise of mint leaves. Looking forward to being creative on my next batch of ice cream!
