Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • 1 cup whole milk, chilled
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 drops green food coloring
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chilled heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar until the sugar crystals have completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Add green food coloring if desired and whisk until uniform.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to ensure the base is ice-cold.
  4. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for 20–25 minutes.
  5. During the final 2 minutes of churning, slowly pour in the finely chopped chocolate to distribute the shards evenly.
