EASY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM
This is a GREAT mint chocolate chip ice cream that I discovered by accident. The 2% milk makes the ice cream taste 'lighter' I think.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE
With just a 9-by-13 pan, a spoon and four store-bought ingredients, you can make an ice cream cake that's creamy, crunchy and fudgy in every bite. It starts with crushed chocolate-mint cookies that are covered with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Next, it's topped with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, with their cakey cookies and vanilla ice cream. Follow that with more mint chip ice cream, and you've made a six-layer cake without breaking a sweat. Feel free to experiment here: Swap out the mint cookies for snickerdoodles, pretzels or broken waffle cones, and the mint-chip ice cream for coffee, peanut butter or strawberry ice cream - or any combination that sounds good to you. Slice the cake into pieces big or small, then drizzle them with hot fudge or Magic Shell. This cake serves a crowd, but you can halve the ingredients and build it in an 8-by-8-inch pan for a smaller group.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with two layers of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Open all of the ice cream containers. Place one 1 1/2 quart (or 3 pints) on the counter and let soften until it resembles thick cake batter, 5 to 10 minutes; you'll use this ice cream first. Place the other containers in the refrigerator to soften while you build the first half of the cake. (Ice cream will reach the desired consistency in the refrigerator in 20 to 30 minutes.)
- Scatter the crushed cookies in a thin, even layer across the bottom of the pan. Spoon the first softened container of ice cream over the cookies and spread into an even layer. Press down as you go to adhere the ice cream to the cookies. If at any point the ice cream is melting to liquid, pop the cake and ice cream in the freezer to firm to a spoonable consistency.
- Place the pan in the freezer while you unwrap the sandwiches. Top the ice cream with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, cutting some as needed to fill the layer to the edges.
- Spoon the remaining ice cream over the top and spread into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
- To serve, use the plastic overhang to remove the cake from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve with a drizzle of hot fudge or Magic Shell. If you're finding the cake too solid to cut, don't wait for it to soften: Warm your knife by running it under hot water and wiping it dry between cuts.

DIRTY MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM
We have news for you. That supermarket mint chip ice cream with the nuclear-green color? It doesn't have any mint leaves in it. It has mint oil or fake mint flavoring, and that nasty color comes from artificial coloring. Real, fresh mint leaves give our Dirty Mint a fresh, cool intensity. Why is it "dirty"? Because we use brown sugar in the base, which gives the ice cream a deep caramel punch and a natural light brown color. It is also "dirty" because we don't strain out the mint. Leaving it in deepens the flavor the longer the ice cream is in the freezer. (Warning: This has been known to convert mint ice cream haters.)

Steps:
- Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add brown sugar and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then coffee extract. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined.
- Scoop 1-ounce balls of dough with a 1 5/8-inch ice cream scoop and place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten each slightly with the bottom of a dry-measure cup dipped in flour. Stir together remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar and espresso powder in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture over rounds.
- Bake cookies until golden on edges, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Dip flat sides of half of cookies in chocolate (or spread chocolate on cookies). Freeze on a baking sheet, chocolate-side up, until set, 5 to 15 minutes.
- Cream: Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Bring cream and mint to a simmer in a small saucepan, then remove from heat; let cool completely, 30 minutes. Place in ice bath until well chilled. Transfer half of mixture to a food processor with half of confectioners' sugar and salt; purée until mint is finely chopped and cream is thick enough to scoop (check after 20 seconds).

CHICKPEA MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM
Canned chickpeas are the secret ingredient in this easy frozen treat, lending creaminess and body without affecting the flavor. (We promise!) Be sure to remove the skins for the smoothest possible results. Pitted Medjool dates add just the right amount of sweetness, and vegan mint extract and baking chips are the perfect flavoring combo.

Steps:
- Place the chickpeas on a clean dish towel or a couple paper towels and cover with a paper towel. Gently rub the chickpeas until they are completely dry and the skins start to fall off. Use your fingers to peel off any remaining skins (the chickpeas should easily pop out).
- Place the skinned chickpeas, coconut cream, dates and mint extract in a blender. Blend, stopping and scraping down the sides of the container with a rubber spatula as needed, until very smooth, about 1 minute. It's okay if there are some specks from the dates, but the mixture should be smooth and similar in texture to a thick milkshake. Add the food coloring and blend until combined (the color should resemble the inside of a ripe avocado).
- Pour one-third of the chickpea mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, then top with one-third of the baking chips, making sure to go all the way to the edges of the pan. Pour half of the remaining chickpea mixture into the pan, then top with half of the remaining baking chips. Add the remaining chickpea mixture, then top with the remaining baking chips. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and freeze until completely firm, at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
- Let the ice cream sit at room temperature to soften before scooping, 10 to 15 minutes. Scoop into bowls or vegan ice cream cones and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your ice cream. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, complex flavor.
- Don't over-mix the ice cream. Over-mixing will make the ice cream tough and grainy. Mix the ice cream just until it is combined and no longer icy.
- Chill the ice cream base before churning. Chilling the ice cream base will help it churn more quickly and smoothly.
- Use a good quality ice cream maker. A good quality ice cream maker will help you make smooth, creamy ice cream. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make ice cream by hand, but it will take more time and effort.
- Add the mint extract at the end of churning. This will help preserve the mint flavor.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mint ice cream is a classic flavor that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with friends and family. With these tips, you can make the perfect chocolate mint ice cream every time.
