Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

So I splurged on the Kitchenaide Ice Cream attachment. A good investment. It is very easy to use. It is going to be so much fun to experiment with some yogurts, ice cream and sorbet. I admit to one minor flub due to my lackadaisically reading the directions. But take #2 yielded some great Mint Chocolate Chip!

Ingredients

2 cups 2% milk

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. peppermint extract

3 drops green good coloring (optional)

1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (I used regular chips & chopped them up)

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together the milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla & peppermint extracts until the sugar has dissolved. Color to your liking with the green food coloring.

Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. After about 10 minutes into the freezing, add the chocolate chips (I added it much later). After the ice cream has thickened, about 30 minutes later, spoon into a container, and freeze for hours.
