Very tasty and easy to make. It's a "clean" mint flavor with no aftertaste. This is so easy that it makes no sense to purchase mint ice cream ever again! -
Very good recipe. I used 1/2 n 1/2 and whole milk, because thats what I had on hand. I also subbed crushed up thin mint girl scout cookies for the chocolate chips - amazing. -
My husband requested mint chocolate chip ice cream for Father’s Day and this recipe was exactly what I was looking for! The flavor is wonderful and I like how we can change the amount of mint flavoring to suit our tastes. The recipe was also very fast and easy, not keeping me in the kitchen over a stove making a custard. Ironically, the only reason we are not rating it a five star is actually due to the fact that we did not make a custard base. For this reason, the ice cream did not have a very creamy texture like we prefer. For ease and flavor, this is a 5 star. For texture, it is a 3-4 star. -
This recipe is so wonderful! Have made it three times and it is extremely easy to make and is just smooth and terrific. I use regular milk chocolate chips and chop them up a bit because I haven't had mini chips around the house lately. I made it with half and half and heavy cream instead of the low fat milk - so decadent! I also used fat free milk and cream and it was just as good. Thanks for sharing this! -
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! I doubled the recipe because we're big ice cream lovers. I also used whole milk instead of 2% (I think it makes a better ice cream). And I managed to find Andes Mint baking pieces in my baking aisle so I used those instead of mini chocolate chips. Thanks for the recipe. This is a definite repeat!!!

Made this for Memorial Day BBQ, everyone loved it! Instead of using chocolate chips I used Lindt Dark Mint Chocolate, and I shaved it. Thanks for the recipe! :) -
