Look! I actually made a recipe! And it's perfect for this incessant heat and dry weather we're having lately. Have I mentioned before how I'm not a summer fan? I have? well, maybe just once or twice...๐. One of the good things about summer is ALL the chilly desserts so I made one of my favorites: no churn mint chocolate chip ice cream!

As you might be aware of by now, I absolutely love no churn ice cream. You don't need an ice cream maker, just 15-ish minutes of prep, throw it in the freezer, and voila! That's all there is to it.

So I was really quite shocked when I realized I had never one shared one of my hands down favorites: no churn mint chocolate chip ice cream! SO refreshing with semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks ๐.

The secret? Fresh mint! Instead of just pouring in heavy whipping cream, scald it on the stove first and then add ยผ cup of fresh mint leaves. Let it infuse for 10 minutes, strain, and chill completely.
It's. So. Good.

I used a little peppermint extract to supplement and of course a couple drops of green food dye (just 3 to be exact) to get that classic pastel mint color.
Check out the recipe below!
