This Chocolate-Chip Mint Ice Cream is the perfect way to beat the heat. The base is incredibly creamy, thanks to a blend of half-and-half and evaporated milk, offering a smooth texture that melts on the tongue. The flavor profile is a classic combination: bright, cool mint balanced by the deep, rich sweetness of melted semisweet chocolate. Small bits of butter mints add a delightful crunch and extra zing with every bite. It’s a nostalgic dessert that feels both indulgent and refreshing. Ideal for summer gatherings, family movie nights, or simply as a luxurious end to a dinner party. While it requires an ice cream maker and some freezing time, the result is a homemade quality that far surpasses store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until they are well blended and slightly frothy.
  2. Gradually beat in the sugar, continuing to whisk until the mixture is thick, pale, and lemon-colored.
  3. Stir in the instant vanilla pudding mix and evaporated milk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Microwave the semisweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  5. While constantly stirring the egg mixture with a whisk, slowly pour in the hot melted chocolate to temper the eggs and create a uniform custard base.
  6. Fold in the finely chopped butter mints and the half-and half until evenly distributed.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until completely cold.
  8. Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker canister.
  9. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions, usually about 20-30 minutes, until the ice cream is thick and soft-serve consistency.
  10. Transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 3 hours before serving to firm up.
