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.)

[email protected]Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. The ice cream was delicious, but I think I would make a few changes next time. I would use less sugar and I would try churning the ice cream in a different ice cream maker.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the ice cream to churn in my ice cream maker. I ended up having to let it churn for about 30 minutes longer than the recipe said.
