        Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip Ice cream:    

     Ingredients:

                        •          2 cups heavy crea

                        •        1 cup whole milk 

                        •          3/4 cup granulated sugar

                        •          1/4 tsp salt

                        •          2 tsp peppermint extract

                        •          1 cup mini chocolate chips

     Instructions:

         1.        In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated                         sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the                        mixture is   heated through, but do not let it come to a boil.

       2.        Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract.

       3.        Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the                     refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

       4.        Once the mixture has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn                            according to the manufacturer's instructions.

       5.        When the ice cream is nearly finished churning, add the mini chocolate chips                    and continue churning until they are evenly distributed throughout the ice                          cream.

      6.        Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2                           hours, or until firm.

      7.        Serve and enjoy your homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream!
