Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Are you a mint chip fan? My friend Brittany suggested that I try my vanilla base with mint chocolate chips. Why not? I love peppermint ice cream. I typically make the peppermint stick. After Lily's released their new flavors of chocolate chips I knew that I had to do it! Give it a try! If you like yours to be the color green, add some spinach. I promise you can't taste it!

Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup half & half
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Gentle Sweet with Xylitol will keep your ice cream scoopable from the freezer
- 1 tsp pure Mexican vanilla
- 1/8 tsp mineral salt
- 1 Tbsp vegetable glycerin
- 1/2 tsp THM gluccie
- 1/2 cup Lily's mint chocolate chips
- 4 drops food grade Peppermint Essential Oil
- 1/4-1/2 cup Spinach optional for coloring
Instructions
- FIRST Blend everything EXCEPT the gluccie, in the blender for 30 seconds. (I use a Vitamix)
- While blender is running on lowest setting add your gluccie. Mix for another 30 seconds.
- Then add your chocolate chips and pulse in blender.
- If you're using peppermint essential oil and don't have a glass canister, transfer the batter to a glass bowl. Otherwise your blender may smell and taste like mint for a month.
- Turn your counter top ice cream maker on and pour mixture in to it.
- Spin 20-25 minutes in countertop ice cream maker.
Storage of your ice cream
- Portion into 5.5 oz portion cups for easy grab and go. Or store in a shallow container for easy thawing. If you use THM Gentle Sweet WITH Xylitol it will stay soft and scoopable from the freezer.
Notes
If you use THM Gentle Sweet with Xylitol it will stay soft and scoopable from the freezer.
