Mint Dark Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
This MINT DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM is by far my favorite ice cream flavor that I’ve made so far. Simple deliciousness!
Dairy-free, coconut milk lends a beautiful creaminess to this dessert. Eat within 2-4 hours of freezing for the best results.
You can find this and many other recipes in my cookbook ~ Cavegirl Cuisine…eating paleo one bone at a time!
Ingredients
Directions
- Place coconut milk and honey in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk until blended. Add peppermint extract and optional food coloring. Stir.
- Whisk two egg yolks in a separate bowl. Temper the yolks by adding a small ladle of hot mixture, stirring continuously so as to not “cook” the eggs. Add a second ladle to egg mixture. Once combined, pour this back into the saucepan and stir everything together. Refrigerate until completely cooled.
- Follow the directions on your ice cream mixer. Each one may be a little different. I put the freezing cavity in the freezer overnight and the ice cream mixture in the refrigerator overnight and then blend in the morning for about 30 minutes.
- For your chocolate, add this about halfway through the blending process. Also, you can use chips for this recipe, or as I did, just chop up half of a dark chocolate bar (I seem to find better quality chocolate in bar form).
- Enjoy!
