Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream...

is delicious. Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream is divine.

I got an ice cream maker for Christmas and this was my first experiment with it - or should I say experi"mint"!

Here's the recipe (easy, hardly any preparation):

• 2 cups nonfat milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon mint extract
  
• 5 drops green food coloring
• 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Stir together all ingredients (minus choco chips) until sugar has dissolved. Add chocolate chips.* Pour into ice cream maker and freeze for 35 minutes. After the mixture has thickened, spoon it into a container and freeze for 2 hours.

*I refrigerated the mixture overnight which made the mint flavoring seep into the chocolate chips. The ice cream also came out with more of a chocolate mint flavor.

Enjoy! I know I did...
