Has anyone got a good recipe for mint choc chip ice cream?

[TheCunnyFunt]

I'm hopefully getting an ice cream maker for my birthday tomorrow (and it's my 21st :o) I was just wondering if anyone has a really scrummy recipe for mint choc chip? Nothing nutty though please :)

Thanks in advance!

Hi TheCunnyFunt
I LOVE my ice cream maker and just tonight made a gorgeous mint choc chip ice cream...
370 ml milk
90ml double cream
140g sugar
couple drops vanilla extract (to taste)
couple drops peppermint extract (to taste)
(I kept tasting and adding more mint til I liked it).
You can add food colouring if you want it to be green.
Mix it all together then pop in machine.
When it's nearly frozen stop machine and add a handfull of roughly chopped dark chocolate or some bought chocolate drops.
Then finish churning.

Be sure to share your recipes when you get going.
My favourite so far is banana - amazing.

I LOVE my ice-cream maker - am on my third as have burnt the motor out of the others probably through overuse!

This is a bit of an odd mixture of metric and imperial but it tastes great :)

3/4pint double cream (the rest usually gets used in carbonara!)
7fl oz milk
150g castor sugar
2 teasp peppermint essence (if its the cheapie supermarket stuff)
100g chopped chocolate (Bournville seems to work best for the correct melting vs rock hard appeal)
Few drops green food colouring (optional but DH insists it tastes better when its green hmm)

1. Dissolve sugar in milk by sticking it in microwave
2. Combine everything else apart from the chocolate and cool
3. Stick in ice-cream machine and churn
4. When putting it into storage tub stir in chocolate

Not quite a recipe but I make a standard vanilla recipe when it's half way through churned I add loads of after eights.....so you get a lovely chewy minty choc ice cream! Amazing!

Oh, that sounds lovely. That's 2 ice-cream recipes I have acquired this morning :)

Great! I tend to do this a lot so make a vanilla and add chopped up celebrations etc.

I know the op asked for no nuts but the most amazing thing I ever made and still goes down in history as one of the best was this....I made raspberry sorbet and paired it with amaretti biscuit ice cream (still vanilla, shot or two of disarano, and lots of amaretti biscuits)... Oh my!

If you don't mind the naffness (and what cook ever does?), but a bottle of creme de menthe and add a couple of slugs of that. It gives a lovely pale green colour, a delicious minty flavour, and, crucially, an amazing soft texture, because of the alcohol's low freezing point.

(yes, buy it twice, it's that good :) )

what kind of quantities do you get from these recipes? I just went to make some mint choc chip ice cream in my Kenwood IM200, which has a just-under 1 litre capacity, but I've gone and lost the recipe booklet that came with it...
