Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Ingredients
Prepare the no-churn Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with ease using only a handful of ingredients, which include:
- Heavy Whipping Cream – As a primary ingredient, this is a must-have for giving your ice cream the perfect taste, texture, and consistency.
- Condensed Milk – Enhance the flavor and texture of your ice cream with a bit of condensed milk.
- Peppermint Vanilla Extract – Give your ice cream that cool mint flavor with hints of vanilla using this tasty extract.

You can also use green food coloring in this homemade ice cream. The green food coloring will give it that signature nostalgic look that you know and love!
The base of this ice cream is made with just two ingredients: heavy whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk. These two come together to create the smooth, creamy texture we all love in homemade ice cream. To give it that signature minty kick, I’ve added peppermint extract, which gives the ice cream a refreshing, cool flavor. A few drops of green food coloring make it look just like the minty treat you’d get from the store (but way better because it’s homemade!).
What really sets this ice cream apart, though, is the semi-sweet chocolate chunks. They add the perfect crunch and richness, balancing out the smooth minty flavor. Every spoonful is a perfect blend of creamy, minty goodness with little bits of chocolate in every bite.
The best part? There’s no churn required! All you have to do is whip the cream, mix in the condensed milk, peppermint extract, and food coloring, fold in the chocolate chunks, and freeze. That’s it! It’s the easiest homemade ice cream you’ll ever make, and it’s ready in just a few hours.
Common Questions
Do I have to use semi-sweet chocolate chips?
No, you can use other chocolate chip flavors if you’d like. While the semi-sweet chocolate chips taste amazing with the mint and vanilla flavoring, you can use anything you’d like, such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate.
What if I don’t have green food dye?
If you don’t have green food dye, it’s not a big deal. The ice cream will still taste amazing. It’s just an extra ingredient that will help you make it look as good as it tastes!
Can I add extra ingredients to the mixture?
Absolutely! In addition to the semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can add other ingredients to your mixture with the condensed milk and heavy whipping cream, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even shredded coconut.
What is the best way to serve this ice cream?
You can serve this ice cream any way that you’d like, whether you want to put it in a bowl with some of your favorite toppings or add it to an ice cream cone and enjoy it. You can even eat it out of an ice cream cone bowl! Some people like it topped with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, whipped cream, and cherries, but you can add anything you’d like to it while enjoying it with family and friends.
Recipe Notes & Tips
- Make sure you’re whipping the cream long enough to the point that it quickly becomes fluffy. If you rush the process, your ice cream won’t have the right texture, which will take away from its overall flavor. You should be spending at least four minutes mixing everything.
- If you don’t want to use chocolate chunks, you can use chocolate chips or even mini chocolate chips, depending on your personal preference.
- If you’re a chocolate lover, don’t hesitate to add more pieces of chocolate to this mixture. You can add as much as you’d like to make this ice cream even more enjoyable for you.

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 14 oz can of condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons peppermint extract
- 1 11.5oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- Green food coloring
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk and peppermint using a hand whisk or fork. Mix thoroughly until the peppermint is fully incorporated.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whip your cream heavily for 4 minutes or until the cream reaches a fluffy, softened-butter type consistency.
- When your cream is fully whipped, fold in your condensed milk mixture. Mix lightly for about a minute or until mixtures are fully combined. Your mixture will still be pretty thick.
- Add 6 drops of green food coloring and stir ice cream with a hand whisk. This will give your ice cream a light green tint. If you desire a darker shade of green, add a drop at a time until you reach your shade of choice. Be sure not to over stir your ice cream!
- Add in chocolate chunks. Your mixture will be thick and your chocolate chunks should suspend nicely.
- Pour ice cream into a 9×5” loaf pan and place inside the freezer for 6 hours or overnight.
- When chill time is complete, remove from the freezer and serve ice cream with a waffle cone or bowl.
