No churn ice cream is an easy ice cream recipe that does not require an ice cream maker, uses only four-ish ingredients and can be made in mere minutes (freezing time not included…sorry). Today’s no churn ice cream is mint flavored with the addition of mint chips and chocolate chunks. Creamy, dreamy mint chip ice cream, perfect for those hot summer days!
I used the rest of my mint chips that I had leftover from my Mint Chip Brownies I made recently, but you can use all chocolate chips.
Mint Chip No Churn Ice Cream
Print RecipeIngredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- green food coloring (optional)
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup mint chips (optional)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper (if you don't have reusable ice cream containers), and set aside.
In a small bowl add the sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract and green food coloring and stir until ingredients are fully incorporated. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the whisk attachment, add the heavy whipping cream and whip on medium-high speed until you reach stiff peaks. Stiff peaks occur as the mixture thickens and will hold the shape of a peak when you lift the whisk from the mixer. This only takes 2-5 minutes.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the sweetened condensed milk mixture to the whipped cream. Fold in the mint chips and chocolate chips.
Pour ice cream into the loaf pan or reusable ice cream containers. Add additional chocolate chips on top of the ice cream, and gently push into the ice cream (optional). Cover ice cream with plastic wrap and foil and place in the freezer to set. If using reusable ice cream containers, just put the lids on. Ice cream takes 4-5 hours to set.
Notes
Store ice cream in the freezer in an airtight container. If stored properly, ice cream will stay fresh for 1-2 weeks.

July 5, 2018 at 12:00 PMI like the green mint chips and the chocolate chunks together. We love mint chocolate chip ice cream and this recipe sounds like a keeper. I need to make ice cream more instead of buying it. I remember making Ice Cream when I was growing up and taking my turn on that ice cream maker hand crank (fortunately there were a lot of us to take turns). The Ice Cream was always so good. I hope that you enjoyed your Fourth of July. (I’m thinking that you did if you had this Ice Cream).

July 12, 2018 at 1:26 PMThank you Amy! As Ethan sat eating this ice cream, he was asking me how I made it. And when I explained it him, he started telling me about making ice cream with the hand crank and I told him I had too! Long time ago, in school I think! Great memories shared over a bowl of ice cream 🙂 Have a great week Amy!!
