In a mixing bowl whisk together
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1½ teaspoons peppermint extract
pinch of salt
If you would like the classic green color add a few drops of food coloring and mix until combined
Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions
This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on your machine
When the ice cream is almost done churning, gradually add
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
Continue churning until the chocolate is evenly distributed
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container
Smooth the top, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm
Overnight works best
